Virginia Voters Give Dems Big Win In The Gerrymandering Wars.

This law is likely unconstitutional.

I don’t know if it’s unconstitutional, it’s just immoral and tyrannical.

The new map could wipe out Republicans' gains so far in the race President Donald Trump kicked off last summer in Texas. Virginia voters on Tuesday approved Democrats’ effort to gerrymander the state, giving the party an edge in its bid to reclaim the House in November.

The new map would give Democrats the chance to flip four seats currently held by Republicans. Its adoption could put Democrats slightly ahead in the national mid-decade gerrymandering wars — a result few thought possible when President Donald Trump picked the fight by pushing Texas Republicans to redraw their map last summer.

The result is a major win for Democrats’ hopes of retaking Congress, and showed their ability to mobilize voters distrustful of partisan redistricting and push back against Trump in the Democratic-leaning state. It’s also a victory for Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger in her first national test as governor, after she faced pressure to take a more active role in the campaign’s final stretch.

I can hear it now, how unfair it was that Virginia (like California) to change their maps. Ignoring the fact that unlike Texas where Republicans without consent of voters, gerrymandered their Congressional because Trump wanted them to.

The Voters of California AND Virginia support new Congressional Maps, they voted for those maps. Never mind that the Voters of Texas did NOT give such consent. Trump started this, the Voters will end it. That is why it is called voting.

This proves the absolute necessity for the SAFE Act. This alleged vote was so close, you know full damn well cheating was involved.

Its good to see some life in the Democratic Party. Wasn’t there a 3rd state when the Demo’s did this too???

Anyway...a win for the good guys.

Yeah give the electoral votes to the majority. Better hope the Virginia governor doesn't piss the people off. Could be good for the Republicans. You loons never think of the long haul.

California has done the same thing since the 1990s.

Link please?

Yeah give the electoral votes to the majority.

Yes...that is what we do in 48 states.

Wow...you mean the governor may lose her job? That never happens.
LOL

It’s always funny to read your clumsily assembled “serious” posts.

Florida is probably going to do the same, do away with that advantage.
