Virginia judge stays certification of redistricting vote

[WEATHER53]

WIthin the next few days we should have an intial determination whether the certification process (review, QA, etc.) can proceed while briefings are developed and submitted based on the appeal.

If the VA Supreme Court allows the certifciation process to proceed while briefings are made, with Primaries in June, I would expect a finaly ruling the first part of May.

A Virginia County Court on Wednesday barred certification of the state's redistricting referendum, pending appeal, according to former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli and state Rep. Wren Williams, R-Va.

The Tazewell County Circuit Court issued the injunction barring certification. The order will face certain appeal and likely head to the state Supreme Court, which is already expected to address a challenge to the referendum.

"UPDATE on referendum lawsuits: The Tazewell Circuit Court just ruled the referendum unconstitutional," Cuccinelli posted on X. "The Judge entered an injunction blocking certification of the election & denied a motion to stay pending appeal. A final order will be entered once drafted, & it will be immediately appealed."

"BIG WIN: Tazewell Circuit Court just enjoined the certification of the special election!!" Williams wrote. "UPDATE: From the Tazewell Circuit Court, the Judge reaffirmed all prior rulings, declared the referendum as unconstitutional and the amendment process of HB 1384 as unconstitutional. He entered injunctive relief and specifically enjoyed the certification of the election. He denied a motion to stay pending appeal. A final order will be entered once drafted."

Virginia voters on Wednesday narrowly approved a redistricting referendum that would allow the state legislature to redraw its congressional maps in a manner expected to favor Democrats. The state Supreme Court is expected to take up a challenge to the referendum later this month.

Interdasting. The Tazwell County Judge has been on a roll lately.

LOL Gerrymandering is not pretty. But Virginia Dems are just playing by your rules. Texas started it all, so live with it.

The point is that it will be set aside like his last 3 attempts to stop this redistricting. The point wasnt that it was within 24 hours. However, if you’d like to bet the VA Supreme Court will let this stand… well… I am all ears.

All his rulings have been set aside for lacking merit.

Again, no they were not "set aside." Interesting how you changed from "overturned" to "set aside"

Justice is slow but sure. This one will be as well. I love that you are more concerned with vocabulary than the actual results which is that this guy is powerless.

I love how you are arguing words don't matter.

The "actual result" is that all of these decisions are currently up on appeal and will be decided by the VA Supreme court and most likely the Federal Courts.

None of his rulings have actually been set aside for lacking merit

citygator is simply making things up to cover for the illegal power grab by his demafasict friends in richmond

Texas didn’t start gerrymandering…what are you talking about?

Vocabulary for setting aside a stay and overruling a stay are immaterial. The VA Supreme Court has shot this guy down several times.

He is not claiming any Federal violations so it cannot be resolved in federal court. Nice try.

It can end up in federal court if the Dems appeal the final ruling of the ScoVa upholding the circuit court ruling

But again, you won’t get any help there either

This was plainly illegal

Uhhh…no it cant. There is no federal appealable angle. What would it be? The Virginia Supreme Court has final say over its constitution as long as they are no violations of the US constitution. Since the US constitution cedes power to the states specifically and unambiguously there is nothing SCOTUS can do.

Oh but it can, once again you playing way out of your league

With that said I do agree any attempt by the Dems would’ be fruitless since it’s clearly illegal

You didnt provide the disputable Federal issue involved. What is the issue?

Dude, you need to just stop talking. You are exposing your ignorance with every post. Judge Hurley has issued injunctions which have been stayed pending appeal. Nothing has been set aside and nothing has been overturned.

Are you talking about Judge Hurley? "He" doesn't make any claims. Plaintiff's do.

Dude, your cult specializes in filing Federal lawsuits regarding redistricting.

I provided you all the other attempts to block this activity BEFORE it passed where his rulings were set aside (they allowed the redistricting to go forward). You know how we know? Cuz the vote went forward despite him ruling that it couldn’t three different times.

I am talking about any federal issue you think is in dispute. You dont honestly think the SCOTUS rules on cases that dont involve federal issues…do you?

If you bothered to read the judges ruling you’d know the potential federal issue is how the dems violated the due process rights of Virginians

But we wouldn’t have to get there since the r was illegal to begin with since they did it in a special session

Because Democrats claim that the 14th amendment was violated. There is no issue in dispute about the 14th amendment. SCOTUS says it is not violating anyone’s right to gerrymander. This Virginia case is all a bunch of challenges on procedural issues because SCOTUS ruled gerrymandering is OK. The procedural issues are not material and ONLY the Virginia Supreme Court can rule on that.

 

[SweetTea]

The votes are in. The people of VA want it.

Why are the courts interfering?

Then every state in the country can have a vote to gerrymander their entire state so the minority party has zero representation. That does that seem right to you?

500th and last time. None of the Judge's orders were set aside. They were stayed pending appeal.

Ask you cult's lawyers that have filed 50 redistricting lawsuits in Federal Court alleging violation of Federal law. Educate yourself and get back to us. We're tired of your rank ignorance.

Libs feel they can vote about something anytime they feel like it
Just make it up and vote for it to be so
