Three Virginia plaintiffs are asking a federal judge to delay the upcoming June primaries—AND if lawmakers fail to implement a new congressional redistricting plan, impose one himself. Although the plan was pre-cleared by the U.S. Justice Department,  both sides of a lawsuit that alleges gerrymandering began presenting their case, which is expected to carry over into Thursday.  Virginia Public Radio’s Tommie McNeil has more from the U.S. District Courthouse in Richmond.
