After the Virginia redistricting power grab election on Tuesday was won by the Democrats, RedState reported that the battle was far from over. Now the battle moves into the court system, and that will decide the final fate of the constitutionality of this referendum.
It didn't take long. On Wednesday afternoon, Tazewell Circuit Court Judge Jack Hurley Jr. ruled that Tuesday's referendum is unconstitutional and issued an injunction preventing the certification of the election maps. Judge Hurley has also denied any motion to stay his ruling pending appeal.
This battle began back in February. Hurley was the same judge who ruled on the maps drawn in anticipation of the fraudulent ballot measure, as the amendment process employed through HB 1384 was ramping up.
BIG WIN: Tazewell Circuit Court just enjoined the certification of the special election!!
UPDATE: From the Tazewell Circuit Court, the Judge reaffirmed all prior rulings, declared the referendum as unconstitutional and the amendment process of HB 1384 as unconstitutional. He entered injunctive relief and specifically enjoyed the certification of the election. He denied a motion to stay pending appeal. A final order will be entered once drafted.

Well, at least the dems got to launder a bunch of money getting the word out for the referendum.
And they also got to test their latest vote fraud software.

Sure hope this sticks. Would serve the lying Democrats right. Hope they wasted all those millions.
Well, it’s a start.
about as far away from the swampy part of VA as you can get and still be in the state.. Nice country, but not what you’d call a democrat stronghold.
We’re on earth did they find a conservative judge? Is this fake news or something?
Even semi-literates who think being a professional writer means relying 100% on spellcheck is OK occasionally pens a good line.
The Republicans’ cases before the VA Supreme Court are really quite compelling. I’m optimistic because there are at least four different good reasons the referendum was improper. That doesn’t guarantee the court will do the right thing, of course, but it makes it harder for the court not to do so.
Circuit Court Judge Jack Hurley was appointed to the court by Republican Governor Bob McDonnell in August 2012.
Most of Virginia is solid red. Only the areas near DC are blue.
Oh, the Dems will appeal. They’ll probably win. Then the next court will reverse. After that it will land at SCOTUS. Hopefully, the delays will at least be enough that the new map can’t be used for a while.
Virginia is bigger than the Northern counties.

As expected. The vote was rigged and totally illegal.
Isn’t Tazewell near Burkes Garden? I hiked through that area last year on the Appalachian Trail.
Draft the order Nov 10th
What you are saying there is not sarcasm it is very likely the truth.
I have to say I enjoined reading the article.
You and me both.
If the Judge "enjoined the certification of the vote" does that mean they can't redraw the district lines unless they win an appeal?
I keep thinking about all treaties and agreements and rulings through the years that were never actually ratified, yet the government implemented them anyway...
