[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s something really weird about demanding disenfranchisement and invalidating the results of a literal referendum, which is the purest form of democracy, while arguing that the results disenfranchise people.

This was a majority win for “yes.” I don’t see how the court can not abide by the will of the people here.[/quote]

Because the United States is a constitutional republic not a true democracy.   The people of Virginia elected representatives that serve in the Virginia legislature.  Those representatives did or did not follow the requirements of the VA constitution in establishing the referendum that was just held.   It is up to the Virginia Supreme Court to determine if the representatives in the Virginia Legislature followed the VA Constitutional requirements in setting up and executing the recent referendum.   If the VA SC finds they did not violate the VA constitution the referendum results stand.  If the VA SC finds they did not follow the VA constitution then the referendum results will be nullified.

Pretty simple really.
