Virginia Is the Model for the Future of Democratic Party Rule

Well, those tens of millions the Democrats spent to steal those seats in Virginia worked as they hoped. 

The gerrymandering referendum won...barely. The Congressional delegation of the state will represent the bureaucrats from Washington, D.C., and almost nobody else. 

That's not hyperbole. The majority of Congressmen from the State of Virginia will all live about 15 miles from each other, in a state where you can live 450 miles from the city. Those Congressmen won't even have to campaign in the vast majority of the districts they represent because the majority of the people who would vote for them live within a few miles of where they do.

Virginia is a purple state, and that fact was reflected in the vote on the Constitutional Amendment to gerrymander it. The final vote totals have yet to come in, but the early vote totals mirror the presidential election, in which Harris won by a narrow margin. 

Virginians, by two or three points, voted to disenfranchise about 48% of the state. 

As you can see from HOW the Democrats won, the victory depended on what amounted to rigging. The description of the amendment was ridiculous—it basically said that redistricting would make things "fairer"—and the margin of victory was entirely based on mail-in voting, likely due to massive vote harvesting from low propensity or otherwise non-voters. 

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?

All that money, all that effort, and all they did was prove our 6/5 map is accurate.

Almost exactly.

The referendum itself wasn't even funded by Virginians. The tens of millions of dollars that funded its victory came from out of state, and Barack Obama was able to give an ad to ABC, and they aired it for free. They put it on the air as "Exclusive" news, believe it or not. 

Spanberger, the CIA shill who ran as a moderate and governs as a radical socialist, promised NOT to gerrymander the state. Of course, it is one of the first things she did, proving that she lives up to her color revolution reputation. 

The irony is thick. A referendum that was sold as promoting fairness transforms Virginia from one of the least gerrymandered states into the most. Because that is how Democrats roll. 

CNN's @ScottJenningsKY on Virginia's Democrat gerrymander: "Virginia had -- literally had the fairest maps in the nation. They had a 6-5 map, six Democrats, five Republicans. In terms of proportional representation, they had the fairest map in the nation. That was drawn, by the way, by an independent commission that the voters asked for just a few years ago. Now they will have the least fair maps in the nation. And I'm not surprised that the yes vote won. They had all the money and all the lies. And sometimes in politics, when you got those two things, you can put something over the line, even something as egregious as this. This whole thing has driven Spanberger's approval ratings down into the toilet. She lied to the people of Virginia. They had to write a ballot question that was a joke. They drew maps that were a joke. Now you're going to have huge chunks of rural Virginia represented by 5 or 6 Democrats who all live in Northern Virginia, within about 15 miles of each other. It's a complete joke. Everybody knows it. And there's a reason that all these national Democrats and all their money came into Virginia, because, you know, they don't really care about the people of Virginia. They just care about power."

Not that Gerrymandering is not the Democrats' favorite tool. Their competitiveness is based entirely on manipulating census numbers and freezing out Republicans through redistricting. The 2020 census overcounted Democratic states and undercounted Republican ones, handing over 3-6 Congressional seats to Democrats from Republicans, as well as their Electoral Collage votes. 

Spanberger sees her strategy as a model for the nation, just as Democrats see her election victory last year as the right model for winning this November. 

It boils down to: lie. Run as a moderate, govern as a communist. 

It's not clear that this referendum will stick, although I wouldn't count on the courts to follow the law. Under the Trump administration, judicial coups are the order of the day. But we can hope, can't we?

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:

1️⃣ 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."

2️⃣ 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.

3️⃣ 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:

4️⃣ 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.

Democrats have a plan to "save democracy" by completely rigging the system in the same way as happened in Virginia, which is serving as their training ground. 

🚨Top Democrat political consultant and campaign strategist, James Carville, just stated on the Left-wing ‘Policon’ podcast that when the Democrats regain power, they plan to:

-Grant statehood to Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico, so that the Democrats can unlock 4 extra seats in the Senate.

-Pack the U.S. Supreme Court from 9 Justices up to 13 Justices, adding another 4 Left-wing Justices to the court.

-Reopen the U.S.-Mexico border and grant mass-amnesty to every single alien currently inside of the United States.

-His advice to Democrat politicians: “Don’t run on it. Don’t talk about it. Just do it.”

Democrats don't play beanbag. They are coming for us.
