Virginia Democrats’ motion urging the state supreme court to temporarily halt its order against the 2026 gerrymandering referendum appears to include two major typos.
Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones, alongside Virginia House Speaker Don Scott and Virginia Sen. Louise Lucas, represented by legal counsel, petitioned the Supreme Court of Virginia to delay its order which struck down the gerrymandering referendum. The joint motion’s first page misspells “Virginia” in the section identifying the plantiff and, just below it, misspells “senator” when identifying the defendants.
“DON SCOTT, in his official capacity as Speaker of the Virgnia House of Delegates, et al.,” the motion submitted by Virginia Solicitor General Tillman Breckenridge opens, before also misspelling the defendant’s title as “sentator.”
