Early Voting Begins Today for Virginia Redistricting Referendum

[dudmuck]

Virginia has just proven why we don’t have a democracy and should never give up the electoral college.

If we want to end the gerrymandering nonsense forever we can switch to using Proportional Representation with each state as one multi member district. No more arguing over lines, and no more shutting third parties out of representation

 

[Rawley]

May I ask why? I didn't see any objections from you or the rest of the Conservatives when this was done (to the Conservatives benefit) in Texas and Utah.

Conservatives in TX and UT did not have to literally amend their Constitutions to redistrict like CA and VA scum Dems did.

 

[Rawley]

???

Virginia just held a vote by the people, that is democracy. Unlike Texas which did it under Presidential instructions to try to keep the House in the mid-terms.

TX legislature did it under existing law. CA and VA had to literally suspend their Constitution to pull off their scams, Scumbaggery writ large.

Virginia is doing it under existing law.

Hence the referendum to the people.

Nope. Under existing law, the VA Constitution prevented the legislature from redistricting. They literally had to amend their Constitution to pull off this scumbaggery. Same with California. Again, partisan scumbaggery writ large.

Other than your TDS, not sure why you are defending this.

Oh that makes ALL the difference!

You're actually whining about the fact Texas and Utah make it easier to gerrymander!

We need to increase the size of the House membership.

James Madison wanted the First Amendment to be a formula for apportioning the House of Representatives. If his Amendment had been accepted, the House would currently have 1,625 members instead of 435.

Instead, the ratio of one House member for every 30,000 constituents was enshrined in the Constitution. By 1800, it was 34,609 constituents per. By 1900, it was 193,167 per.

In 1929, Congress froze the number of Representatives at 435, even though we had only 48 states and a population of 121 million at the time.

Today, with 50 states and frozen at 435 representatives, the ratio is 762,000 constituents per House member, and climbing.

Our Representatives are completely out of touch with the People.

It is time to rethink apportionment.

Sorry the facts expose your party as partisan scumbags.

Sorry the facts expose your party as partisan scumbags.

First, the Democrats are not my party. I left the GOP in 2017 and have been an Independent ever since.

You are dumb, blind, and a hack.

Texas started this war, and now you can't take the Democrats fighting back.

And it's a fact Texas makes it easier to rig elections. You are so fricking retarded, you think it is wrong that the Democrats had more of an uphill battle.

Wow.

Just...wow.

What Virginia just did is the most anti-American thing I've ever seen. There is no comparison to Texas or another state. None.

And you poopyhead. Big smelly poopyhead.

Trump and your cult are trying to actually rig the elections and it just burns your ass the Democrats are fighting back.

Good. Poor baby.

Gee, who would have guessed your cult is such sore losers?

Oh wait...

Texas started no war. They just had the gumption to ask for more gruel from the Progressive socialist tyrants. And the tyrants had a meltdown which is not hard to do. You guys have no real answers. We are so screwed. I see no one rising against you guys. And it is not normal when people have food and a roof over their heads to do so. As a citizen though something is wrong.

The Big Payback is coming.
We're not going to take this kind of Soviet bullshit much longer, pal.

Similar to CA. Both states amended their Constitutions to take redistricting away from their partisan legislatures.

Scumbag Dems in both states said '**** that,' our Constitution is just a piece of paper.

Your politicians are the insurrectionists inside the building. Hoping for the slaughter of all American military people in the middle east as an example. You are even giving the Iranians information to help destroy our ships and kill our soldiers.

The most anti-American thing EVERYONE ever saw was your cult's attempted coup on January 6, fuckwit.

Virginia put a new map to a vote of the people, unlike the communists in Texas and their smoke-filled back rooms.

Exactly.

Hence the referendum to the people.

It's called 'democracy', Rawley needs to look it up.
