I’ve seen enough… Virginia is voting to gerrymander

[citygator]

Yeah, something stinks.

Election day Votes: 57% (1,366,647) of all votes so far.
No: 55%
Yes: 45%

Early in person Votes: 30% (702,598) of all votes so far.
No: 49%
Yes: 51%

Early by mail Votes: 11% (254,809) of all votes so far.
No: 27%
Yes: 73%

Now if you can explain that disparity then I'm all ears because I sure can't.

Blah, shit all will be done about it though.

 

[toobfreak]

I was SWAMPED with mailers telling me to vote “no”.

Well, that sounds good. Do you live in a big city in the east of Virginia?

Thing is, I don't even look at mailers. Maybe that is the way to reach many voters but I do my own research and make my own decisions and don't ever go by anything any political handouts or mail claim.

For one thing, whoever writes that junk sure does such a bad job of it. The psychology is so obvious. I often feel like banging my head at what a bad job the GOP generally does on TV or via media in getting the real issues across in a way that both appeals to, and the average voter will understand.

All votes count. Including mail in ballots dispshit. What part is confusing?

The first gerrymander punch was thrown by the Dems, more than 100 years ago. They’ve been at it a long time.

 

[1srelluc]

I will endevor to persevere.

 

[toobfreak]

So then are you telling us that if Trump or the GOP now come back with an even bigger counter and creams the Left, you will not complain?

 

[citygator]

Sounds like Trump nailed it--- more democrat Marxism.

1. A purposefully mis-worded and deceptive ballot that implied one to the voter while delivering something quite different.
2. Another 11th hour mail-ballot drop that suddenly reverses an election just enough to effect a win for the D's.
3. Another lopsided outcome that fantastically favors democrats while savagely curtailing republicans.

Sounds like Trump has a legal challenge in mind--- SWEET! Now when will some of Trump's chutzpah rub off on the rest of the GOP?

Trumps a moron. This is the same dude mailing out $160 billion in illegal tariff refunds.

Dems didn’t start this. They’ve submitted bill after bill to end gerrymandering. It’s the GOP that lives by it.

Pass the bill. Dems will do it in a heartbeat.

Democracy doesn't exist in the USA

It does to some extent. That’s why it was offered as a referendum.

However, let’s keep in mind that we are not now and have never been a democracy, nor were we intended to be a democracy. Instead, we are a Constitutional republic.

That is a big difference. And it makes a huge difference. I mean, simply because the people of Va have approved that referendum doesn’t mean it will withstand a Constitutional challenge.

For, while it may survive such a challenge, then again it might not.

The people of VA didn’t really approve. Half were misled by the Democrat lie on the ballot.

 

[toobfreak]

All votes count.

All legal, lawful votes count. I wonder how many dead people voted twice in this election whose addresses are the local police station?

 

[BackAgain]

The phrasing of that referendum is itself clearly biased.

It’s own terms maintain that the referendum is to “restore fairness ….”

That is an outright lie by those who framed the ballot issue.

I am proud that a voter whom I know very well had the brains to vote “no.”

 

[toobfreak]

Get real. Democrats invented gerrymandering. They live by it. The very word gerrymandering was first coined in Massachusetts, the bluest state in the union literally named after a guy who ran as a democrat.

And just because the GOP did a little to even the playing field, democrats have shown they can corruptly gerrymander states 100% to their favor.

You admit as much: because the GOP tried to even the playing field just a little after years and years of leftist gerrymandering, the left have come back to tilt the scales even MORE uneven.

 

[Winco]

You must be so excited.

FAFO biitchy one.
LOLLLOLLLLLL

Your Governor has No Balls.
He cowers to trump.
Where is my $1.99 Gas?

You party is lead by shamelesss scumbags

Ditto.
Abbott is the Sitting King of Scumbags.......pun intended.
FAFO Abbott.

Wow, what a joke. "Restore fairness?" Who votes no to that? Everyone wants fairness! Except, the referendum does not define what "fairness" is or will be! And who decided what was fair?

Oh yeah--- I get it now. To a democrat, fairness is 11 democrats to 0 republicans. But don't worry, it'll never be used again, just until 2030 when they use it to put a democrat in the WH, then they promise never to use it again--- until they vote in 2030 to make it permanent.

Thats what you always get. One party gets to write it.

 

[toobfreak]

Trumps a moron.

Nope, stupid people don't go out and create billions in wealth for themselves. Trump is just not a seasoned corrupt Washington politician.

This is the same dude mailing out $160 billion in illegal tariff refunds.

Wrong. It is the democrats and their democrat lackey judge which is giving back 160 billion. If anything, I would simply, if legally forced to, just give the affected countries a 160 billion credit on future trade.

Oh well, remember that the next time you cry about the deficit, how you fought to make ours worse while benefiting our neighbors.

With democrats, it NEVER comes down to doing anything good or right for America. Never ever.

Dems introduce anti-Gerrymandering legislation every year. Why won’t the GOP support?

No. It’s certainly not what we “always get.”

And it may actually end up being one of the things that gets it scuttled in court.
