This is crazy, and it’s obvious what the attempt is: to get an advantage over the GOP. How hard is it to base districting on voters’ choices, not political warfare to change election results? The Democrats have mastered the art of the steal, whether by voter fraud or now gerrymandering. If these folks take power, real power in the future, you can say goodbye to our current SCOTUS structure. Why? For political power. When will the people be the first thought, not an afterthought? Not anytime soon. This will now head to the VA Supreme Court, where hopefully logic prevails. In the interim, Florida and DeSantis are standing up to counter Virginia’s fraud. All IMO.
“A Virginia judge has stopped the state from certifying the results of Tuesday’s referendum in which voters narrowly approved Democrats’ new gerrymandered congressional map.
Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones, a Democrat, is expected to appeal the decision.
The injunction on Wednesday against certifying the referendum results came from the Tazewell Circuit Court, which previously sided with Republican lawsuits against the referendum, only to be reversed by the Virginia Supreme Court.
Voters on Tuesday allowed Democrats to override the state Constitution and do a mid-decade redistricting that wipes out four of the state’s five Republican-held congressional districts.
The Democrats’ plan to gain an advantage in this year’s battle for control of the U.S. House still faces several other legal challenges.
The Virginia Supreme Court was expected to begin hearing oral arguments in the cases on April 27.”
