Virginia voters will get to cast ballots on a congressional redistricting plan that could help Democrats in this year's midterm elections. On Friday, the Virginia Supreme Court said an April 21 referendum can go forward while it considers a legal challenge to the redistricting plan. A lower court ruled last month that the proposed constitutional amendment allowing mid-decade redistricting was invalid because of the way state lawmakers passed it. Democrats appealed. The Supreme Court agreed to hear the case. But it wont be resolved before the April referendum. The Virginia plan is part of a national redistricting battle between some Republican and Democratic states.

The State Department has ordered nonprofit public libraries to stop taking passport applications, cutting off a popular local service. In late fall, the agency started sending cease and desist orders, which take effect on Feb. 13. It says these libraries cannot collect and keep passport processing fees under federal rules. Librarians say the service has worked for years and residents still call every day. Members of Congress from several states pushed back in a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio. They call the change abrupt. Pennsylvania members of Congress have proposed a bill that keeps eligible nonprofit libraries in the program.

William Byron chases an unprecedented third straight Daytona 500 win Sunday when he attempts to make NASCAR history. He'll be trying to win NASCAR's season opener for the third consecutive year in a backup car after he damaged his primary in a qualifying race. He starts near the back in 39th, but he says that does not scare him. Byron has won here with a backup before. He has also won by staying patient and avoiding trouble, not by leading lots of laps. The field also has big storylines. Kyle Busch starts on the pole while stuck in a long winless skid and Brad Keselowski races while recovering from a broken leg.

Chris Paul has announced he is retiring from the NBA after a 21-season career that stacks up as Hall of Fame worthy. He shared the news Friday during All-Star weekend at the Clippers’ arena in Inglewood. Paul finished the year in a strange way. The Clippers sent him home in December. They traded him to Toronto earlier this month, even though he never planned to play there. Paul said he wants to “show up for others.” He leaves as a 12-time All-Star and a two-time Olympic gold medalist. He also ranks near the top in assists and steals.
