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

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![/quote]

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.

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! [/quote]
