A nationwide gerrymandering tug of war moves this week to the Florida Legislature and Virginia’s top court, the latest fronts in a lengthy battle Democrats and Republicans have fought to a rough draw so far.

In Florida, state lawmakers are heading into a special session on Tuesday to consider redrawing their congressional map, among other matters. The scope of the effort remains foggy.

In Virginia, the state’s Supreme Court is scheduled to hear a case on Monday that could determine whether Democrats will be allowed to put in effect a gerrymander of the state’s congressional map. Last week, Virginia voters narrowly approved a referendum allowing for the Democratic gerrymander, but Republicans are challenging the legality of the measure.

The states are part of a coast-to-coast chess match that President Trump and fellow Republicans started in Texas, where state lawmakers redrew the map in the G.O.P.’s favor last year.

The parties are also watching for a

Supreme Court decision

that could upend the national gerrymandering battle.
