Eric Holder Takes Virginia
WSJ ^ | Nov. 7, 2019 | Kimberley A. Strassel

The Democratic plan to dominate state legislatures has its first electoral success.

The National Democratic Redistricting Committee, led by former Obama Attorney General Eric Holder, is spending in key states to influence state Supreme Court races, with the end goal of redrawing election maps..

...

Eric Holder will be celebrating this week for a decade.

Democrats .. will redraw Virginia’s legislative district lines after next year’s census. The Old Dominion was already moving left, though the redistricting power likely cements Democratic dominance over Virginia for the next 10 years.

This was Mr. Holder’s plan.. Holder was launching the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, committed to domination of electoral mapmaking through the courts and legislatures. The NDRC spent its first years aggressively litigating legislative maps it didn’t like, to great success. Virginia’s election was the first test of the electoral piece of Mr. Holder’s strategy, and it will now serve as the model by which Democrats attempt to gain redistricting power in 11 other key states next year.

...

Holder’s group has never engaged in blue states where Democrats routinely draw maps to disadvantage Republicans, such as Maryland, Massachusetts or New Jersey.

...

The Holder “sue to blue” litigation strategy has already yielded major gains for Democrats, as state judges struck down maps drawn by Republicans and required changes that ultimately aided the Democrats. Example: Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court—which is chosen through partisan elections and has a Democratic majority—in 2018 overruled the U.S. House maps drawn by the Republican legislature and produced its own version. The new maps helped Democrats flip three net seats. In Virginia, federal judges redrew the state legislative map to aid candidates running this week.

...

Three billionaires—Michael Bloomberg, Tom Steyer and George Soros—and their organizations spent more than all outside Republican contributors combined.

Holder is another communist that should have been locked up ages ago.

Virginia is now officially a suburb of the District of Corruption.

This little incident here is going to put a major damper on his/their plans:

They may all be off the streets by the end of this month before they can do a thing.

Judges, District Attorneys, State Attorney Generals and State Secretaries of State are the key positions that Soros and the DemocRATS plan to use (along with vote fraud) to effectuate their seizure of permanent and total power in our nation.

Holder and Hussein dismissed a default judgment against New Black Panther Party thugs.. In Philly: an egregious case of voter intimidation.

I don’t know the answer to that question. However, there’s a pretty good hunch out there that in the end, it won’t be with the “ballot box”

I have family members who left Connecticut a few years ago to resettle in Virginia... apparently thinking they were moving to a Red State.

They haven't been paying attention...

When the election returns were coming in, I was asking, 'Did anyone hear one Republican leader issue a warning about Virginia? Did Republicans not know Virginia was slated for takeover by Democrats? If they did know, why didn't they say anything? If they didn't know, why didn't they know?'

Calls to Rush have been split on this. Most are asking the same questions I was asking. Others are blaming Soros (which may be true).

However, the questions still remain. Even if Soros (or Holder) was responsible for this, again, why didn't Republicans know? If they did know, why didn't they issue a call to arms?

You can see the Republican Party is a party in name only. This MF piece of shit should be in jail not in office.

They sure are. Look at the last ass hat 🎩 that they successfully got into the White House.
