SoccerDuck asked me to talk about the leftist fascism I was scared of coming in 2028. Which Joe Manchin saved us from in 2021.
It was little h who brought up Leftist Fascism. You know, the retard you have to coddle.I'm struggling to see how Oceania is relevant to Virginia's redistricting that its citizens voted for. Please help us.
Always so wrong.Seems like all the voters read it perfectly fine.
Except you and the dork with two first names.
Don’t blame me because reading a few sentences works your brain cell too hard.Always so wrong.
It was always going to the state Supreme Court. This will be overruled right quick and ricky tick.

Former Virginia attorney general and Homeland Security official Ken Cuccinelli II posted on X Wednesday about the gerrymandered map, "UPDATE on referendum lawsuits: The Tazewell Circuit Court just ruled the referendum unconstitutional. The Judge entered an injunction blocking certification of the election & denied a motion to stay pending appeal. A final order will be entered once drafted, & it will be immediately appealed."
The new map would almost certainly hand ten out of eleven congressional districts to Democrat control. This would impact not only Virginia, therefore, but the Republican-Democrat balance of power in the U.S. Congress.
Cuccinelli had already predicted that the election results last night were not the final say on Virginia Democrats' gerrymandering. He noted that the "[f]irst passage was invalid," as 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." In light of this, a Tazewell County judge ruled that this action was "void, ab initio."
And finally, as a challenge to the proposed map, "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)," Cuccinelli wrote.
Blatantly against the constitution of Virginia but authoritarians such as @CallMeBigErn don’t care as long as there are enough far Left Kings/Queens in black robes to ignore it.Some pretty bad procedural violations were committed to get this thing through. Like ignoring the 2/3 vote rule and that every electoral district has to be contiguous and "compact. The snake they drew up is certainly not compact but then leftards can always just change the meaning of words. The 2/3 vote issue seem a bit tougher.

Virginia Democrats Barely Get Their Gerrymander Referendum Passed, but a Virginia Judge Just Ruled it Unconstitutional
—Disinformation Expert Ace
The referendum passed 51% to 49% in blue-as-ice Virginia. That doesn't sound like a coming Blue Wave to me.
But it did pass. And Democrats will use this power to increase their congressional delegation from six to five to 10 to one.
But a judge says hold on -- this was all unconstitutional.
So to even vote this into a referendum, they needed a two-thirds majority vote, which they never even tried to get, so the referendum was never legally before the public.
There are additional procedural defects, which have to do with timing and so bore me, but you can click the link to read about those.
The Democrats created a giant lobster-shaped district to mix their ultra-blue northeatern voters with red voters in the south and west of the state. It's barely "contiguous" and not "compact" at all, sprawling, as it does, across half the state, a three hour drive from one end to the other.
The MSM called her a moderate. Leftards lie and love to be lied to.TugTards should applaud this ex-CIA liar. It worked!
It was a court ordered redraw so the dipshit on Twitter who told you that isn’t telling you the whole truth. Also, not remotely the same thing as TX.So you can’t explain the difference. I’m shocked.
Don’y bother following the conversation… it’s over your head.Yet it seems to have some issues
