"Invites"? Good grief. I'll be voting NO tomorrow. Thanks for the reminder.

They keep running the ads where he tell us "we're counting on you". Counting on me for what? To "restore rairness" to elections by disenfranchising my fellow Virginians? To stop "rigged elections" by rigging an election? To "protect democracy" by helping to destroy it?

It's amazing people still take this guy seriously. Hard NO for me too!

It's so funny to see MAGAs claim that there's some sort of disenfranchising occurring here (there isn't). It follows their typical pattern of accusing the other side of doing something that they're not doing in order to detract from the fact that you do it.

The fact that you automatically assume I'm MAGA (I'm not!) pretty much sums things up. But whatever. You reference an article about a case in LA? We're talking about THIS referendum in Virginia.

In 2020, we overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment that created a bi-partisan commission on redistricting. That was done during a general election with high voter turnout and it passed in a landslide. Fast forward to 2024 and across Virginia, about 51.5% of us voted D and about 47.5% of us voted R in congressional races. As a result, D's hold 6 seats and R's hold 5. Any reasonable person would conclude that it worked out pretty well. If passed, this amendment, being voted on in a special election with a very low projected turnout, would almost certainly make it 10 D seats and 1 R.

To deny that this move would not disenfranchise Virginians is absurd. Please take off your hyper-partisan glasses.

^^ To CLAIM that this move would not disenfranchise Virginians is absurd. Please take off your hyper-partisan glasses.

It wouldn’t disenfranchise Virginians any more than Republicans in any number of states unilaterally decided to disenfranchise Democrats.

Personally, I care very little for people who would not hesitate, and have not hesitated, to disenfranchise Northern Virginian Democrats in the past when they had power. I will be fully honest when I say I want them fully suppressed and would support any legal means to do so.

If you don’t want to find out, don’t f*ck around, kids!

Well you virtue crusaders go vote yes and come back in 5 years and tell us how it worked out for your enfranchisement.
And come back and tell us how this didn't stop Trump and you are shocked.
Only the Republicans in the Senate can stop Trump. Write that down and look at it from time to time. If you don't know why it's true figure it out. Even flipping the House is not an off switch for Trump. It takes Senate Republicans

Trump clearly thinks flipping the House is an off switch. If he didn’t he wouldn’t have started ordering Trump friendly states to gerrymander House districts in his favor 18 months before the election. Write that down and look at it from time to time. If you don't know why it's true figure it out.

Flipped House would be bumpy road not full stop. Even impeachment useless without Senate conviction we saw that twice already. It's a Democrat PARTY thing more than a true stop. You will see.

I've already returned my ballot so I'm hoping they stop mailing me flyers.

Trump is so paranoid about the House flipping that he’s going back to endorsing a GOP incumbent in an R +10 district who didn’t support his tariffs, when he had previously called for him to be primaried. President Donald Trump is reshaping a Colorado Republican primary by offering one of the candidates a role in his administration and returning his endorsement to the incumbent, whom he called a “RINO” just last month.

“On Friday, Trump said that he met with Hope Scheppelman, who is running for Colorado’s 3rd District, and her husband, Steven, “to discuss various opportunities to serve our Country in a different capacity than her current run for the United States Congress.”

“Hope and Steven are wonderful and patriotic Veterans of our U.S. Navy, and loyal supporters of our Historic MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN Movement. Therefore, I am proud to announce that they will be leaving the Campaign trail in order to join my Administration, in a capacity to be determined,” Trump wrote on social media, adding that they decided nothing should impede GOP Rep. Jeff Hurd’s race.” This of course is a crime, by the way.

LOL, the MAGAs are really getting desperate. I couldn't care less if the Blue Ridge Mountains used to be the basis for drawing districts. That was a totally artificial decision, and now we'll make a totally different artificial decision. Let's stop pretending that there's some sacrosanct way that this must be done.

This is exactly why Republicans redrew the maps. Districting is a totally artificial decision.

Trump was very clear that they redrew the maps in TX to pick up 5 more Republican seats.
