Virginia court continues the redistricting madness

[Bugsy McGurk]

Yup, the Virginia court slapped down the VA redistricting plan that was approved by the voters through a referendum.

Meanwhile, red states, emboldened by the SCOTUS cons’ “rewriting” of the Voting Rights Act, continue their pro-GOP redistricting, typically by way of diktats imposed on a moment’s notice, the will of the voters be damned.

As democracy as formed by the Framers continues to die its slow death, replaced by the Trump/GOP authoritarianism….

Supreme Court of Virginia strikes down redistricting amendment, keeps current maps in place — Virginia Mercury

The Supreme Court of Virginia on Friday struck down the voter-approved redistricting amendment, upholding a lower court ruling that had declared the measure unconstitutional less than 24 hours after last week’s special election and briefly halted its implementation.

HUGE GOP Victory: Virginia Supreme Court Strikes Down Democrat Gerrymander, Shattering Their Midterm Dreams — Here’s Why

Excerpt:
Democrats just got absolutely crushed in Virginia — and it’s a massive win for fair elections and President Trump’s America First agenda.

The Virginia Supreme Court delivered a decisive blow Friday, striking down the Democrat-led redistricting referendum that narrowly passed in a special election. The court ruled that Democratic lawmakers blatantly violated the state constitution by ramming through a constitutional amendment to create a brand-new congressional map designed to steal seats from Republicans.

They just lost the Independent vote from this too lmao, and then wasted all their money

Your post reinforces what I said - it’s another victory for the Trump/GOP forces seeking to maintain control despite enjoying the support of a minority of Americans.

Authoritarian, anti-democratic societies based on minority rule never fare well. You people should be careful of what you wish for. But you won’t. You’re just too deplorable.

In Trumplandia, when the voters approve a redistricting in a blue state through a referendum it is said that “a leftist rigged the election,” whereas redistricting in a red state on a moment’s notice, without any such voting by referendum, is warmly praised and welcomed.

After all, the redistricting is taking the Trump/GOP cult one step closer to where they want to be - an authoritarian nation where majority rule is squashed.

No one "rewrote" the Voting Rights Act, it was merely "reinterpreted" through the lens of the Constitution which, you know, prohibits discrimination on the basis of race?

The "majority" of Americans are center right. The democrats are radical leftists. Do the math...

Yeah, they “reinterpreted” it. Yer a hoot. Your hackery knows no bounds.

Two absurd lies in two short sentences.

Your efficiency in lying has been finely honed over the course of decades of lying.

What ID?

 

[Dawg]

What ID?

The one you need to vote with in NC

Huh? That ID, whatever it is, is the one you claim 85% of Americans support?

You are so lame.

As if this latest chapter of the destruction of our democracy wasn’t already surreal enough, we have this…

“The Virginia Supreme Court has just struck down the Democrats’ horrible gerrymander,” the president wrote in a Truth Social post following the court’s decision.”

So sayeth the Dear Leader of Trumplandia, after launching this year’s gerrymandering madness and applauding all the pro-GOP gerrymanders.

"Virginia Democrats’ motion urging the state supreme court to temporarily halt its order against the 2026 gerrymandering referendum appears to include two major typos.

Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones, alongside Virginia House Speaker Don Scott and Virginia Sen. Louise Lucas, represented by legal counsel, petitioned the Supreme Court of Virginia to delay its order which struck down the gerrymandering referendum. The joint motion’s first page misspells “Virginia” in the section identifying the plantiff and, just below it, misspells “senator” when identifying the defendants."

Dumb and Dumber leftist

They broke their own laws.... it was a super easy call for their courts....

A major violation involved a statutory 90-day public notice requirement for proposed constitutional amendments:

• Virginia law (stemming from older code, even if the current constitution has some differences) requires posting the proposed amendment at circuit clerk offices for public inspection at least 90 days before the election.
• The timeline for the amendment didn't meet this. Early voting for the April 21 election began around March 6, which was too soon after key legislative actions.
  
  cbsaustin.com

Circuit Judge Jack Hurley Jr. ruled in January 2026 that the process was unlawful, partly due to this 90-day issue (along with problems like using a special session improperly and not having a proper "intervening election" as required for amendments).

en.wikipedia.org
The Virginia Supreme Court ultimately struck down the amendment and referendum results (in a 4-3 ruling around May 2026), citing procedural violations in how the legislature advanced it—including notice and timing rules. This rendered the voter-approved change null and void.

To remind you of your own babbling, you babbled about voter ID and mentioned NC. I asked you about that and you responded with an unrelated post about Virginia. Your mind is a hopeless mess.
