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

It’s kind of like packing the SCOTUS . . .
Steal...corruption. What’s new?
This ridiculous VA gerrymandering attempt will not withstand legal challenges. This is the diseased remains of the Democrat party flailing to stay relevant. Along with the impending gutting of the VRA, this former political party that has turned into a collection of socialist nitwits at best, enemies of the American Republic at worst, will be relegated to the dustbin of history. What we once knew as "Democrats" long ago will coalesce into something new but they are headed for irrelevance over the next couple decades.
And that is a pedantic rant.
This cycle of doing it outside of a census period is unusual.
But, you want to relive the past 250 years.
Thinking like yours is why MAGA is doomed to fail. You are all too busy worrying about stuff that happened in the ancient past and cannot fathom what is going to happen next.
by instituting an 11:1 advantage for democrats by gerrymandering???
Mass is 40% GOP. Zero representation.
VermontLT lost his fastball years ago.
And Florida can go ahead and add five or more seats if DeSantis chooses to so lets see what happens..and Texas, why not add an additional 10 seats, two can play at this game
Also a state that elected a Republican Governor just four years ago, a Republican who defeated a previous Democratic Governor in a state wide election.
The Lieutenant Governor under Glenn Youngkin was a Black female Republican - Winsome Earle-Sears - who defeated a Democratic female in the state wide election.
In the 2025 election for Governor, Winsome Earle-Sears was crushed by 15% by Democrat Abigail Spanberger.
“”When these people say “No kings,” that’s BS. They’re all about kings. Just ones that they install.””

Exactly.
No. That was court-ordered ungerrymandering.
or just do away with those evil elections ,LOL
The Virginia Supreme Court already has them. The misleading language in the referendum is one of several arguments that the referendum should be nullified. The court allowed the vote to go forward but reserve the ability to nullify it on the merits after held.
The "yes" vote has won Va's redistricting referendum — but the legal fight is just beginning. Four Va Constitutional challenges are now teed up: THREE challenges to the amendment process itself:
1️⃣ First passage was invalid. The amendment was taken up during a special session convened in 2024 for budget purposes. The General Assembly's own call to the Governor (under Art. IV, §6 and Art. V, §5) and its governing resolution (HJR 6001) limited the session's scope. Expanding it to include a constitutional amendment on redistricting required a two-thirds vote that never occurred. A Tazewell County judge found this action "void, ab initio."
2️⃣ Art. XII, §1 requires that after first passage, a proposed amendment be "referred to the General Assembly at its first regular session held after the next general election of members of the House of Delegates." An election must intervene between first and second passage. Here, first passage occurred during an election cycle — not before an intervening one.
3️⃣ Art. XII, §1 requires the amendment be submitted to voters "not sooner than ninety days after final passage by the General Assembly." The timeline from second passage to the April 21 vote did not satisfy this requirement. Plus ONE challenge to the proposed maps:
4️⃣ Art. II, §6 requires that "every electoral district shall be composed of contiguous and compact territory." The proposed congressional maps violate this contiguity requirement (rather badly).
Next stop, court. Stay tuned.
by instituting an 11:1 advantage for democrats by gerrymandering???
Wonder how much of Virginia Soros owns now?.
You’re right. What they really truly want to achieve is that which they could never attain to be: a living god on earth.
