Virginia wanted to "restore fairness in upcoming elections"

@Geiger_Capital

This is insane…

The Virginia redistricting amendment on the ballot today is framed as a vote to "restore fairness in the upcoming elections."

In reality, it turns a state that Kamala barely won by 5 pts from 6D-5R to 10D-1R

So they voted to install a pseudo-monarchy over the state?

When these people say “No kings,” that’s BS. They’re all about kings. Just ones that they install.

Art IV, Sec 4 of the US Constitution guarantees us a republican form of government. The Democrats just took representation away from half of Virginians through mob-rule democracy.

The results of this redistricting vote should, in and of itself, be proof that the redistricting is unconstitutional. When the vote is 52-48, or by 80,000 votes, and yet 90% of the representation goes to Demcrats, that's a classic case of disenfranchisement.

What happened with the Texas redistricting plan? Did that go anywhere?

I’m sure challenges are already written.

Spanberger is the most blatantly dishonest, vile politician I’ve ever seen - which I guess is an accomplishment for someone so lacking in intelligence and talent.

I think she will wind up being one of the most despised, too.

The question is worded so dishonestly, I’ve heard some early-voting Republicans were fooled by it. And they are furious.

Just as in New England, conservatives/’Republicans’ in Virginia have little/no representation in Congress. Virginians should be spitting blood.

The Libs will whatever it takes to bring down this country, lie, cheat, steal even kill. If anyone dares to question their motives, methods or results the s$it machine that is the media will rain down and they are hoping someone tries to force the issues in the courts because that’ll be where the real circus comes to town.

The solution is that every conservative state gerrymander a 90/10 split on repub to dem seats. And do it for this upcoming election.

We would either get Virginia and the others shut down in the courts right away, or we would end them in Congress.

But Repubs never take the gloves off.

Democrats are crazed, Godless sociopaths.

Seems like they can take it up to the SCOTUS.

Redo.

If it was a simple question.

Give the power to the legislature to redistrict.

Yes or no.

Yes, Democrat speak - similar to Orwellian “new speak”.

It’s “unfair” if there is any chance of Republicans winning.

In MA you would need to be very creative to come up with a Republican District.
Sometimes, as they say, “It is what it is.”

But every two or three elections we manage to put a Republican in the governor’s seat…just to spread the graft around enough to keep all the crooks happy.

Texas started this crap.

California already had 43 Democratic Representatives.

Just 24 Republican Representatives in Texas.
