Early Voting Begins Today for Virginia Redistricting Referendum

[Blaster]

Right now, in this day and age to weaken the other side, Trump did start it.

False

 

[jacksonlamb]

Trump is not afraid to fight. Yes, he did start it.

His side will lose the House and probably the Senate because of Trump's move.

Democrats have been gerrymandering for years.

 

[toobfreak]

Not sure why you'd say that but you are wrong. Again.

So you live in some hick-town along the WVa border.

You are correct but dirt don't vote in state elections,

Are you sure about that?

Trump has more spine than any other US politician I know and he is the source of VA's recent vote.

So, this was a referendum on a guy not even running for office? Good one.

They invented gerrymandering. It is just one of a dozen tools leftist use to defeat democracy and oppose the peaceful transition of power.

 

[Rawley]

Thank you for reaffirming my point.

I don't remember the argument, but the GOP lege in Utah back in the late 90s passed something and said it could only be changed by a 2/3 vote of the people.

Neither the GOP in TX and UT believe in the right of the people governed to consent to change.

Wow, perhaps that word salad makes sense to you.

Great one. Trump inserted himself into state politics by asking GOP states to gerrymander. They did and nothing could be better for Dems than having Trump associated with the other side.

Sure. Trump is like an albatross around the GOP's necks with his winning the popular vote and all 6 swing states! Ever consider the problem here is with the stupid GOP itself who cannot even pass the SAVE act, fund the government or tie their own shoes?

Spamburger moves in and already in a few weeks, I've seen her do more in the news than the last two GOP governors combined? Ever hear of McDonnell? I never did. What did that bum do while in office, anything to advance conservative causes?

Then there was Youngkin--- Once elected, that was the last time I ever heard about the guy. Again, he could not have done much of anything otherwise the democrats would have been screaming his name bloody murder.

But BAM--- Spamburger gets in and within days, the entire state is reeling on its heels--- look at her Lt. governor--- Ghazala Hashmi--- that's a woman. Where the hell did they find her? She was born in India to a muslim family and went to a college for women.

Meanwhile, since when has Obumma, out of office now for a decade yet still living in DC, ever taken himself out of state politics much less national politics? He is literally having meetings with, appearing for, and out campaigning and releasing statements even as we speak.

This referendum wasn't about Trump at all but thanks for the spin; it is all about democrats continually rigging elections, setting things up slanted in their favor, lying, and cheating the elections.

Seriously, how do you defend a state going from a 6-5 split to a 10-1 split?

Modern gerrymandering began with Tom Delay and Texas in the mid-90s.

Virginia clearly followed a lawful, voter‑approved constitutional process for its 2026 congressional redistricting. California also used a voter‑approved process, but available reporting does not indicate any legal challenges to California’s actions this cycle.

Oh, the results of 2024 are done and gone, and mean nothing to what is going on now.

The tables are turned and Maga is going, "Oh, so unfair."

Republicans in Texas put the gerrymander vote to the state legistlature to vote on it rather then allow the voters in that state to have a say in the polls & you accuse Dems of fraud?

Texas = Fair

Virginia = Unfair

WW

 

[Delldude]

Bingo

 

[g5000]

This whining by the MAGA cult cracks me up.

Redistricting is only supposed to occur after each decennial census directed by the Constitution.

Trump directed Texas to violate that process, and now his brainless b!tch bois are whining about Virginia.

"You're doing it wrong! You're doing it wrong!"

How DO they stand the stench of their own hypocrisy?

[toobfreak]

Bingo

Someone needs to hit Obumma with a steamshovel, doesn't he know he is no longer in office? The guy he said would never be president is his president now. Sorry, Barry, but we reject your fundamental change, and DENY Virginia its 10-1 gerrymander slipshot.

BOTH sides are guilty you partisan hack.

Seems to me that a governor endorsing an unconstitutional referendum should be grounds for impeaschment. Damn, the new Lt. Governor is a Hindu Muslim just like Kammy Harris.

How about a president who issues an Executive Order in direct violation of the US Constitution? Should he be impeached a third time?

For the People Act (H.R. 1)—the flagship federal effort to ban partisan gerrymandering and standardize fair districting rules nationwide.

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.

We'd have 7 members in Parliament if we had that ratio.
