There is no fairness in disenfranchising the majority of Virginia outside of NoVA.

Two wrongs don’t make a right. I’m tired of these massive pendulum swings and power grabs. The way to prevent another Trump from happening is not to grab as much power as possible and push far left policies that inevitably result in a backlash. Find your middle, find your critics, and listen to them!

There aren’t “pendulum swings”. There is a very slim margin that will be lost if the Rs gerrymander unmatched. This is maintaining some sort of balance.

The thing is if they don't respond to the Republican power grab the country will just end up gerrymandered for the right. They won't have any tools to fight back and Republicans will push more and more extreme stuff on us. Taking the high ground enabled Trump in the first place.

Exactly.

Biden saved us in 2020 and I sm grateful. However, his power mad staff encouraged him to break his one term promise and THAT and the Democratic Party's failings and lack of a succession plan LET TRUMP WIN.

So the Democrats got Trump elected and the Republicans let him stay unfettered. A pox on them all. I am not getting redistricted to a nobody new Congressman to try to get Dems a seat. What if the Republicans win it lol?

Independent voter, never ever voted for Trump.

I disagree with this.

So this in itself "I cannot believe this extremely biased “restore fairness” language was allowed in the ballot. Fairness to who?" is so very telling to me and honestly VA is feeling quite corrupt as of late. Vote no.

Not only don't I support this. I don't much appreciate the lying post card I just got from the nationals womens political caucus.

I’m voting Yes. Republicans nationally have given up any pretense of supporting democracy, and are actively trying to derail the midterm elections. We need a counterbalance so we don’t end up like Hungary or Russia.

I voted yesterday. I voted yes.

This administration is drunk and unhinged. Until the Republican party grows a backbone and stands up to trump/maga, they cannot be trusted.

Fairness to the process that always was before Trump ordered mid-decade redistricting.

I plan on voting no. Subdividing NOVA into however many parts and attaching each to a different rural constituency is the opposite of what I consider to be "fair".

In this case, two wrongs DO make a right. What do you suggest we do here, just let Republicans gerrymander away and do nothing to respond in kind? The GOP has consistently defeated anti gerrymandering legislation introduced in Congress by Dems. They engage in blatant acts of voter suppression and are redistricting at Trump's directions specifically to disenfranchise Democratic voters. You obviously are willing to roll over because you are comfortable that the GOP will not come for YOU anytime soon. Some of us don't have that luxury, so respectfully, you can take your moderate do-nothing nonsense and stuff it.

Do you consider what Texas and Florida are doing to be "fair?" Look at the bigger picture here.

It won't work unless you get some other blue states to "legally" gerrymander as well. It's too little too late.

Let's be clear. Trump voters got Trump elected. It takes a special kind of twisted logic to blame Democrats for Trump. The GOP could have run a sane candidate; we all knew who this man was, certainly the third time around. The GOP owns ALL of this right now. Our economy, this war, this lawlessness, the destruction of all our alliances, the deaths of inncocents, and having a criminal and his moronic sycophants running this country, all of it.
