On Monday the Institute for Policy and Opinion Research at Roanoke College released its results from interviewing 800 Virginia residents in February 2026. Overall, their stats show that most Virginians are in favor of the state's current method of redistricting and drawing legislative lines.

LOL!

Do they think that mere Virginia taxpeasants have a say in Abby’s Longhouse dictatorship?

A majority of them wouldn’t vote for a black, military veteran woman either. What racist pigs Virginians are. They’d rather have white Karen as Governor than a qualified black woman.

“(52%) said they would vote to keep the current process while 44% said they would vote to adopt the change”

Well within the margin for cheating.

This might not even come up for a vote. There’s a legal challenge saying it violates the VA constitution, and the VA Supreme Court, coincidentally, has to approve district boundaries under the current non-partisan redistricting laws.

Doesn’t matter!

The Democrat/Socialist/Marxist/Communist Bitch and her lackeys in the VA House and Senate will ignore the will of the people and have their way with them!

Due to massive vote fraud and manipulation then The people of Virginia have probably already lost the chance to vote these people out. After the redistricting then there will no chance to vote out the communists.

The state Supreme Court has already ruled on that and it approves. No surprise there, which is why they set the date for the referendum.
