I deleted a tweet where I wrote that Democrats “ignored” Virginia anti-gerrymandering laws, b/c people are being obtuse and pedantic. The promise of anti-gerrymandering laws and amendments (like the one VA Dems supported in 2020) aren’t worth anything if they're overridden by the party in power whenever convenient.

Remove conservative justices and pack the courts! The guy is a radical interested primarily in grabbing power, to wield it against the other side. This is sadly, what partisans on both sides seek.

@RealSKeshel Fairfax County, in order to be ceded, would require both states to agree and congress. Arlington/Alexandria are legally simple to do.

@Legal_Fil The Republicans literally have an arm dedicated to putting conservative justices on as many courts as possible. Atleast try if you're going to act stupid.

I’m not clear why people are averse to blaming the side for different political dysfunctions. The left politicized the courts, consciously so. The right weaponized impeachment, consciously so.

This is an extremely truncated history, like claiming the impeachment stuff started with Trump.

@TPCarney Conservatives played political hardball to reshape the court and then act surprised when liberals treat it as a political branch. Why wouldn't they?

This is just the tip of the iceberg on legal challenges yet to be heard. The Democrats' New Map still has very difficult hurdles to overcome.
Ken Cuccinelli II@KenCuccinelli

The "yes" vote has won Va's redistricting referendum — but the legal fight is just beginning. Four Va Constitutional challenges are now teed up: THREE challenges to the amendment process itself: 1️⃣ First passage was invalid. 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. A Tazewell County judge found this action "void, ab initio." 2️⃣ Art. XII, §1 requires that after first passage, a proposed amendment be "referred to the General Assembly at its first regular session held after the next general election of members of the House of Delegates." An election must intervene between first and second passage. Here, first passage occurred during an election cycle — not before an intervening one. 3️⃣ Art. XII, §1 requires the amendment be submitted to voters "not sooner than ninety days after final passage by the General Assembly." The timeline from second passage to the April 21 vote did not satisfy this requirement. Plus ONE challenge to the proposed maps: 4️⃣ 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). Next stop, court. Stay tuned.

@SpenceRogers Florida is already stretching the districts to their limits. There is diminishing returns at a certain point.

@ProjectVirginia Republicans run one black woman and republican voters hated it so much they destroyed the party.

Virginia Republicans will still be feeling the damage done by the Winsome Sears campaign 25 years from now.
LyoByrraboi@largibs

@ProjectVirginia Genuine question, how much of a role do you think Sears’ abysmal showing played in the lack of national support/funding? Did they see the 15+ point Dem win and decide that VA was a lost cause? Just mind boggling to spend so much on a primary in Texas and completely ignore VA.

@lancevideos Republicans are fascist though, and it's morally correct to suppress and restrict their vote as much as possible.

Democrats were calling Republicans in Texas fascist for trying to redistrict. Now they bragging about redistricting Virginia in their favor. Not to mention the districting in Illinois.

I know everyone wants to be all doom and gloom but if you look at the actual results of the referendum vote even a lot of Democrat voters voted against it. That's going to have a lasting impact down the road.
