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?
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.
Maybe if Republicans has conducted themselves differently in the past few years, more than 48.5% would have voted against this measure.
+1. The voters have spoken. That is how we are supposed to settle things here.
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.
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.

They'll never take away anyone's right to vote because that would be too obvious. Instead, they'll do things to make your vote completely meaningless. That is how you disenfranchise people.

The Trump administration eviscerated the federal workforce, went to war in Iran without a plan, bilked taxpayers for millions of dollars for his personal enrichment, and gave pardons to criminals who donated to his campaign, all while Virginia's GOP representatives have abdicated their oversight authority and given his actions their full-throated endorsement.
Maybe they shouldn't have?

Ok. If you don’t like that then push the GOP to ban gerrymandering.
Why? So you can do a popular vote and remove representation.
Why? To end gerrymandering.
Are you ok with gerrymandering or not?
Not nationally.
Are you ok with gerrymandering or not?

Politicians gaming the rules to nullify the votes of people they don't like is some shady fkcng business, and this genie does not go back in the bottle. When Republicans come back into power, as they inevitably will, I'm surely they do the same thing to Democrats, but worse. It's never just tit for tat.
Gerrymandering is stupid. It disenfranchises voters. It makes Congress *completely* dysfunctional. And it sets off an endless cycle of retribution between the parties. All if this is especially dumb because Democrats are going to win the House and Senate, anyway, even without this.
Ballot initiatives are how the powers that be get stupid people who don't know anything to approve dumb ideas.
My favorite is how they say it's only "temporary." It's never, ever, ever temporary. Do not believe any politician, Democrat or Republican, who says something is only for the time being.
It's temporary because the maps are statutorily required to be redrawn after the 2030 Census.
Are you actually this stupid or just pretending to be?
it doesnt say that it just says temporary meaning they can call in a "fairness" request at any time
