My wife and I were tardy, but we did vote on Saturday against the Virginia Democrats’ outrageously unfair redistricting proposal which would eliminate four pro-life Republican Congressional Representative and replace them with four pro-abortion Democrats.
Currently, the divide is six Democrats and five Republicans. The new divide would 10-1.
There were hordes of “yes” signs ostensibly to “restore fairness,” but does 10 Democrats and 1 Republican “restore fairness”?
In 60 years of voting, I’ve never read anything so deliberately and maliciously deceptive.
To be crystal clear, if on April 21, the constitutional amendment passes, Virginia will have one—ONE—pro-life Republican and nine—NINE—pro-abortion Democrats. The result would be that the Commonwealth of Virginia, the home of Washington, Jefferson, and Madison, would have the distinction of being the most gerrymandered state in the nation.
Even Maryland, which is run by a mob of pro-abortion Democrats, balked at drawing a redistricting line that eliminated the lone Republican.
Virginia Society for Human Life says that early voting points to this election being close. As almost always is the case, the result will come down to turnout on Election Day. If you are a Virginian, here are your polling places.
So, am I exaggerating how one-sided and misleading is the constitutional amendment? Here’s the wording:
“Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to allow the General Assembly to temporarily adopt new congressional districts to restore fairness in the upcoming elections, while ensuring Virginia’s standard redistricting process resumes for all future redistricting after the 2030 census.”
Here’s a couple of points we have made before, but they ring even truer with the election tomorrow.
*The wording comes from the General Assembly—the Virginia House of Delegates and the Virginia Senate—which is controlled by Democrats. In their typically fair-minded way, they assure the voters this is “temporary.”
No adult in his or her right mind believes the Democrats will allow a reversion to the former status quo.
*In 2020 Virginians decided by a sweeping majority to adopt a Constitutional Amendment that created a bi-partisan commission to establish congressional lines! But that was then, this is now.
*The airwaves have been clogged with “yes” advertisements. They have the face of the famously pro-abortion president Barak Obama who calls for “change” to “fix” our current bi-partisan constitutional process. In the old days, Obama opposed gerrymandering as did current governor Abigail Spanberger. In fact, in 2019, before she was governor, Spanberger said, “Gerrymandering is detrimental to our democracy, and it weakens the individual voices that form our electorates.”
Brings to mind Lord Acton’s famous aphorism, “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
*Multiple court challenges to this proposed new constitutional amendment have been filed. One lower state court ruled against the proposed amendment, citing several steps taking by the pro-abortion Democrat led General Assembly to pass it this year.
However, that ruling has been twice overturned by the state supreme court which said the election could proceed on April 21st –and that they will provide their ruling after the ballots are cast! What do you think the chances are that the Court will throw out the amendment if it is approved tomorrow? How about slim and none?
Olivia Gans Turner, President of the Virginia Society for Human Life, wrote this previously, and it remains 200% true.
People may tune out a special election in April. They may think the courts have stopped it. They may not think that it matters which way the wind blows after it’s over, but they are so wrong!
Virginians must stop the redistricting amendment from stealing our pro-life seats in Congress! Vote NO!
Don’t pass this vote by! Innocent unborn babies are counting on us! Go vote No!
Don’t pass this vote by! Innocent unborn babies are counting on us! Go vote No!

Virginia joins Maryland in vieing to be THE Freak state title. I thank God daily that we were able to escape the WDC area of pathetic ignorance many years ago.
Probably losing 4 seats.
My impression is that Virginia republicans are are losing this one in a race they could have won if they had more money and better leadership and better advertsers. Somebody prove me wrong.
....sad....very sad.....today’s Commonwealth bears little
resemblance to the one we moved to in the very early 1970s.
It was reliably conservative then, but those days appear
to be long gone....through fraud and a probably heavy
Democrat turnout, Virginia will probably indeed see
a redistricting not to conservatives’ favor....thank
goodness we had the foresight to move to Texas more than
a decade ago....still (pretty much...) conservative....
I don’t want to agree but I will always keep fighting if you know what I mean. **sigh**
Sorry, but it is a done deal. The corpses of fetuses are the best fund raising tool the Dems have. They need their deaths for that all important whoremonger vote.
“There were hordes of “yes” signs ostensibly to “restore fairness,” but does 10 Democrats and 1 Republican “restore fairness”? “
You see................... Now......
11 democrats - that is what would actually be fair. 10 to 1 is not fair at all. It should be 11/0.
