[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone else think the Republican whining is a bit…unseemly? I can’t help but thinking about the little pipsqeak on the playground who bullies the big kid for years, then cries bloody murder when the big kid punches him back once and knocks him flat on his back.

AOC said it best when she said, “Wah wah wah.” I can’t help but see children every time I see Republican white men whining about injustice. [/quote]

This is going to result in Democrats winning 10 of Virginia's 11 House districts. Reminder: Virginia is purple state. That's completely ridiculous. Why don't you just ban Republicans from voting altogether? [/quote]

If 48.5% of Virginians vote repuplican but maps reduce them to just 1 of 11 seats (9.1%), then nearly half the state has been compressed into only 9% representation.

That means they lost about 81% of their political voice when seats are allocated.[/quote]

Maybe if Republicans has conducted themselves differently in the past few years, more than 48.5% would have voted against this measure. [/quote]

+1.  The voters have spoken.  That is how we are supposed to settle things here.[/quote]

Is that a joke? People didn't even understand what they were voting for. It was just "if you hate Trump vote this way." That's what ballot initiatives always do. They do something sleazy and then they sell it to the public by saying "vote yes if you love puppies."

Are you saying Republicans were too stupid to understand the language on the initiative? Hilarious self-own. [/quote]

You sound like a bratty teenager. Maybe you should listen to the adults who say this is obviously going to be struck down by the courts because the language used on the ballot was plainly deceptive. If there's one thing you absolutely cannot do with these things, it's use misleading language on the ballot. You have to be extremely clear about what is being proposed. [/quote]

Bub, I'm going to clue you in to something, because clearly nobody else in your life is. It's obvious from your posts that you get your news from Fox News, Drudge, Newsmax, and the Washington Times. You are being hoodwinked. Taken for a fool. Deluded because you lack the sophistication to spot obvious distortions, half-truths, or outright lies.

Those of us living in the real world - consuming news from a wide variety of sources, produced by actual journalists and not partisan hacks pretending to be - know that Republicans are [i]incredibly[/i] unlikely to prevail.[/quote]

Weird because you sound like what politicos euphemistically refer to a "low-information voter." [/quote]

Every Republican accusation is a confession. I hope you escape from your echo chamber someday.[/quote]

You sound very Trump-y, the way you ignore substantive arguments and just call people names and repeat moronic bumper sticker slogans you read somewhere. [/quote]

I don't think saying the ballot language was unclear is a substantive argument.  I am not young and I've voted on many many ballot initiatives in many elections.  They are a sentence or two and always have to simplify a complex issue.   Most voters that bother to vote on ballot initiatives know the what and why of their vote before they even see the ballot.[/quote]

The only confusing aspect of the referendum was the MAGA propaganda. And that was international.

We need Jones to go after these groups trying to illegally interfere with elections.

"Restore fairness" is an opinion, therefore it introduces bias into the question that could mislead a voter because who doesn't want to be fair. But many people don't actually consider the proposed maps to be fair. Of course they weren't displayed at polling locations otherwise voters would have more easily caught on to the dishonesty.
