Is it terrible or is that a huge loophole?

The litigation is already pending: "Lawsuits pending at Virginia Supreme Court over redistricting referendum" (ABC 13 News). There are 3 lawsuits, 2 of which challenge the language. The vote was allowed to go through, but we'll see what the court says. I can see how one might argue that the voters didn’t approve of anything that doesn’t "restore fairness" and the plan put forward by the Democrats was designed for the purpose of advancing the party— not to restore fairness — so the voters did not approve it.

While nominally 10-1, a motivated electorate may render this 9-2, 8-3, etc. The same may be true for California's new map. If voting patterns unexpectedly shift all bets are off. Still, the Democrats have a long history of gerrymandering New England quite effectively.

The old claim that "all politics is local" has become "all politics is nationalized and parliamentary."

Democrats spent $70 million on this referendum.
Almost every penny came from out of state.
They broke laws.
They wrote a deceitful ballot measure.
They ran tv spots for two months, nonstop.
They brought in Obama.
They brought in Hollywood.

We had grassroots.
That’s really it.
They only beat us by 70k votes.
In an April election.

Here’s the most ironic part … what do you notice?

Interesting that the states that have done mid-cycle Democratic gerrymandering (California, Virginia) have done so by referendum, but the states implementing Republican gerrymandering (Texas, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio) have done so by state legislature without the citizens’ direct voice.

It's a classic urban/suburban vs. rural divide in a growing state where population has shifted heavily toward the DC metro area over the past 30–50 years. The suburbs don't outnumber the rest of Virginia in total voters, but their combination of size + lopsided partisan support was enough to eke out the narrow statewide 'Yes' win. Similar dynamics have made Virginia increasingly competitive or Democratic-leaning in statewide races despite rural conservatism.; 4/22/26, 9:15 AM

Dr Weevil said...: Am I the only one following this issue on Twitter? Here's some crucially important stuff no one above has mentioned, from Ken Cuccinelli's Twitter (link):

"The 'yes' vote has won Va's redistricting referendum — but the legal fight is just beginning. Four Va Constitutional challenges are now teed up:

THREE challenges to the amendment process itself:

1. First passage was invalid. The amendment was taken up during a special session convened in 2024 for budget purposes. The General Assembly's own call to the Governor (under Art. IV, §6 and Art. V, §5) and its governing resolution (HJR 6001) limited the session's scope. Expanding it to include a constitutional amendment on redistricting required a two-thirds vote that never occurred. A Tazewell County judge found this action 'void, ab initio.'

2. Art. XII, §1 requires that after first passage, a proposed amendment be 'referred to the General Assembly at its first regular session held after the next general election of members of the House of Delegates.' An election must intervene between first and second passage. Here, first passage occurred during an election cycle — not before an intervening one.

3. Art. XII, §1 requires the amendment be submitted to voters 'not sooner than ninety days after final passage by the General Assembly.' The timeline from second passage to the April 21 vote did not satisfy this requirement.

Plus ONE challenge to the proposed maps:

4. Art. II, §6 requires that 'every electoral district shall be composed of contiguous and compact territory.' The proposed congressional maps violate this contiguity requirement (rather badly).

Next stop, court. Stay tuned."; 4/22/26, 10:19 AM

Here's his follow-up Tweet:

"By the way folks, this is going to move FAST - not the usual 'court speed'. Look for another Tazewell ruling as early as this week, and briefing in the Va. Supreme Court this week."

Someone calling himself "va_gentleman" asks him how the referendum was even allowed on the ballot, and he wrote:

"Va. legal precedent from the early 1900s was not to rule prior to the completion of a referendum. It's analogous to the governor signing a bill."

Finally, I read on Twitter that the governor did not allow polling-places to put up before-and-after maps showing how the districts would look with or without the changes. Voters weren't allowed to see what they were voting for or against!; 4/22/26, 10:25 AM

But then, why claim it to be only temporary if you know you'll never it to be removed? And why temporary if it's making things 'fair' again?

If this stands, no Democrat should ever utter the word 'democracy' again. What a travesty in a 50/50 state. But then, we have many such 50/50 states where Republicans hold very few Congressional seats. Almost makes you think Republicans love being punked.; 4/22/26, 10:31 AM

Yancey Ward said...: If the GOP doesn't like it then they can run on it and change it in the VA legislature. I looked at the map- it is unlikely that the Democrats gain more than 2 VA seats and it could easily end up 6-5 for the GOP. They take all of the very safe Dem seats and spread out the votes to turn 4 of the GOP seats from light red to light blue. California and Texas are both going to run into the same problem with their new redistricting plans- gerrymandering to the extreme can very easily backfire on you.; 4/22/26, 10:45 AM

Dr Weevil said...: IEE (8:26am) uses weasel words to conceal the truth: "Unfortunately, this round of map grabbing began with Trump’s demand to steal seats in Texas."

Why mention "this round"? Because Democrats have been doing this on a huge scale for many decades. I lived in California in 1980. Big news was brothers Phil and Dan Burton gerrymandering the state Congressional districts in spectacular ways, e.g. joining a suburb south of San Francisco to Marin County, so that you could only get from one part o the district to the other by boat.

How effective was the gerrymander? As I recall, at the next election in 1982, the Democrats got 40% of the vote and 60% of the seats, which means they netted 9 seats from the Burtons' work (California was 45 districts in those days). Anyone who claims the Republicans started this is a damned liar or a damned fool.; 4/22/26, 10:58 AM

In a red-wave election like 1994 or 2010, it might be a lot worse than 8-3.

And it is not because the people think they are doing such a bang-up job.; 4/22/26, 7:25 PM
Vance said...: Here in Utah, the local Democrats have argued, successfully, that it is "unconstitutional" to not give them a seat because they "deserve proportional representation". The state of Utah has, roughly, 25% Democrats and they convinced a judge that meant they should get one of Utah's four Congressional seats. For years we have heard Democrats screeching how "unfair" it was that they didn't have a district carved out for them. Well, they got a judge to forcibly redraw Utah's maps, based only on what a far left Democrat "non profit group" in Virginia drew up. Utah's congressional maps have been draw up by people who can't even vote in Utah. Now, all of those same Democrats screaming 'it's unconstitutional to not give a minority their fair share of districts" are crowing and saying "Go Virginia! Republicans should never, ever get a seat anywhere, and we need to gerrymander as much as possible. Except in Utah, where we gerrymandered a seat for Democrats."

Democrats are just slime, treasonous people; 4/22/26, 8:18 PM
