Virginia Okays Gerrymandering, to Pick Up 10 of 11 Seats

The Virginia state Senate passed a constitutional amendment Friday to pave the way for a mid-decade redistricting push. It is the final legislative step needed to send it to voters for approval.

If voters support the amendment, which is expected to appear on the ballot this spring, Virginia’s Democratic-controlled Legislature would be able to redraw the state’s congressional map before the midterm elections.

The measure would amend the state’s constitution to allow lawmakers to temporarily bypass Virginia’s bipartisan redistricting commission. They will then alter the state’s congressional lines if another state does the same outside the usual decennial redistricting cycle or a court order.

Virginia Democrats, who currently control six of the state’s 11 districts, are hoping they could net an additional three or four seats through the process. They are considering turning 10 congressional seats over to Democrats. It would leave only one for Republicans. Republicans will have very little voice in government in Virginia.

Trump won 46.6% of the votes in Virginia.

Meanwhile, Indiana won’t redistrict due to RINO refusals.

If Republicans don’t dump the filibuster and pass the SAVE Act, it’s all over.

RINO’s are looking to lose the House. Just as in 2018 so many R’s “retired” allowing Dems to come in and impeach, impeach, impeach and otherwise halt Trump’s agenda. Now several R’s are retiring and even worse, allowing redistricting to put a lot of R seats in jeopardy. The RINO’s want to cede control to Dems again.

America’s political system is broken beyond repair. Everyone says a third party would ruin it for republicans but from my perspective, the republicans/rinos, ruined it for themselves. There isn’t a nickels worth of difference between to two parties, and if ‘real’ Americans hope to survive, a third party is the only ‘real’ hope. I think that 75 percent of the… Read more »

Meanwhile, the traitorous scum known as “Republicans” continue to block efforts in Indiana, Texas, and Florida from doing the same thing for the R Party.
