@RationalWins You understand each state has its own constitution and its own set of laws don’t you?

Why doesn’t Virginia simply do what the red states are doing, and just redistrict anyway?
Republicans do not give a fuck about the rule of law lol. Why would Dems not act the same
English
@AGJayJones How is it “over the rule of law”, when it violated the state constitution? Ur dumb.
English
(½) Today the Supreme Court of Virginia has chosen to put politics over the rule of law by issuing a ruling that overturns the April 21st special election on redistricting.
English
@Logically_JC So if Trump decided to hold another election to see if he should serve a third term…and 51% of the voters said “yes”…then you’d be cool with that?
English
1.6 million voters approved the redistricting in Virginia.
4 judges denied them.
English
@ltgovhashmi Psst…. we have a thing called the Virginia State Constitution…you might wanna look it up.
English
The Virginia Supreme Court's decision to block a redistricting referendum that Virginians voted for is part of a broader national assault on our democratic institutions — and it should concern everyone who believes in free and fair elections.
English
Justice wasn’t served today in Virginia. We must continue to work to preserve and protect our democracy.
English
@Logically_JC …because the Virginia constitutional process wasn’t followed. You left that part out.
English
@JasmineForUS Do facts ever matter to you dems? A judge that your boy Tim Kaine appointed ruled against this election, as it violates the VA state constitution.
English
So let me get this right… when the people decide, something is inherently wrong, but when repubs ram through racist maps at the behest of an immoral incompetent immature idiot, there’s nothing to see and it’s perfectly ok. ALL ELECTIONS MATTER… these people have cheated themselves into power & will violate any laws, constitutions, or basic rules of decency & humanity, to continue to drag our asses deeper Into debt for ballrooms while people can’t afford food, gas, or healthcare!
The confederate states are for sure showing that they were never ridded of their racism.

Breaking news: The Supreme Court of Virginia has struck down new congressional map that Virginia voters passed last month.

Also - not sure why Taylor Heinicke chose to say "Go Skins" in his retirement letter.
He, of course, did not play for the #Redskins.
He played for the Washington Football Team and #Commanders
But hey - I'm sure the 'Heinicke Hive' was buzzing about that.

@RepJeffries Of course it will. The entire election violated the Va state constitution. Why is it you dems feel that laws are optional?
English
The decision by the Virginia Supreme Court to overturn the will of more than three million voters will not stand.
English
The power of democracy always rests with the voter. It is, “of the people, by the people, and for the people”.
Shocked and appalled that seven judges in a closed room decided to overturn the direct vote and choice of millions of citizens.
English
@GavinNewsom Va thrown out by a judge Tim Kaibe appointed, because Abby violated our state constitution. …nothing to do with MAGAI know laws are optional for demorats…fortunately, not in VA…for the time being.
English
No vote in Tennessee (+1 GOP)
No vote in Florida (+4 GOP)
No vote in Missouri (+1 GOP)
No vote in North Carolina (+2 GOP)
No vote in Texas (+5 GOP)
Virginia’s voter-approved maps thrown out.
MAGA has rigged the system.
English
@TorreySmithWR There are these little things called state constitutions…and you kinda have to follow them…no matter how bad you want to eff over nearly 50% of your state’s citizens.
English
Interesting that voters can't decide but politicians can.
Doesn't sound like democracy to me. Zero power to the people. Giving more power to less people is wild.

🚨BREAKING: In a 4-3 ruling, the Virginia Supreme Court has OVERTURNED the redistricting referendum approved by voters last month that could have netted Democrats 5 additional House seats. The court ruled the General Assembly violated the Virginia Constitution in advancing the amendment, nullifying the referendum entirely.
English
@faanh3 @ryan_banchi_ @Angry_Staffer …but it wasn’t for this past vote…so therefore it’s unconstitutional.
English
@ryan_banchi_ @Angry_Staffer The Virginia Constitution can be changed.
English
Based on this Virginia ruling, the Tennessee and Florida maps should both also be shot down.
If not, Virginia should just pull a Tennessee and change the rules to ram it though the legislature. 🤷♂️
English
People crying foul about Virginia carving up rural areas are silent with the state of Tennessee carving up its two biggest cities. Both of which are the economic engines of the state unlike the rural areas of Virginia.

BREAKING — Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee has signed the new 9-0 congressional map into law. 🔴 +1 GOP 🔵 -1 DEM
English
@electionsjoe Did it “dismantle democracy” when democrats disenfranchised nearly 50% of the voters in Virginia.
English
They dismantled Democracy in one day.

BREAKING — Just one day after Tennessee Republicans released their proposal, both chambers of the TN Legislature have passed a 9-0 congressional map which eliminates the state’s sole Democratic seat. It now heads to Gov. Bill Lee’s desk for signature.
