U.S. House Elections

Judge Jack Hurley of Tazewell County Circuit Court on Tuesday blocked certification of a voter-approved redistricting referendum, declaring the ballot unconstitutional and preventing Virginia's new congressional maps from taking effect. CBS News reported Hurley issued the order less than 24 hours after the vote.

Analilia Mejia was sworn in to the U.S. House to replace Mikie Sherrill.

Analilia Mejia won New Jersey's 11th District special election, further narrowing the Republican majority in the U.S. House. The April special election filled the seat vacated by Mikie Sherrill after she became governor and was called minutes after polls closed at 8 p.m. ET. Mejia defeated Republican Joe Hathaway and independent Alan Bond and will serve the roughly eight months remaining in the current term. The Associated Press and CBS projected her victory, and Democrats outnumber Republicans in NJ-11 by more than 60,000 registered voters.
