Because MAGAs are dishonest AF.
So are you without mentioning Illinois with it's 2021 14-3 Dem map and only 54% of the vote.
Anonymous wrote:A major argument in the current redistricting fight is that Texas redrew its maps, and Democrats then responded in stronger Democratic states like California and Virginia, but with even larger seat advantages after the redraws.
Here is the clear comparison of vote share vs seats controlled after maps are drawn:
Texas
Republicans won about 56% of the statewide vote.
After the maps, Republicans hold about 66% of congressional seats.
California
Democrats won about 58% of the statewide vote.
After the maps, Democrats hold about 83% of congressional seats.
Virginia proposed
Democrats won about 52% of the statewide vote.
After the proposed redraw, Democrats could hold 91% of congressional seats, 10 of 11 seats.
That is what makes Virginia stand out.
Texas redraw criticism focused on Republicans turning 56% of the vote into 66% of seats.
But Virginia could turn 52% of the vote into 91% of seats, which would be a much larger gap.
California already shows a strong advantage at 83% of seats, but Virginia would go even further despite being a much closer state politically.
What's also off-putting is Spanberger; she is not honest. This is shocking. No other state is this obvious. Even Texas is 70%, and California is 70%, but VA went 91% !!!

Johnson said “We have to stand up for fair maps and we have to vote no. As your Speaker of the House, I see firsthand every single day how all five of those members are leading the fight on things like lowering costs and securing our borders and making Virginia and America great again.”
Amazing that Johnson has the nerve to talk about fair maps. But that’s MAGA for you. A vote no is to “Make America Great Again” aka MAGA, in their own words. So make no mistake, if you vote no, you are supporting the MAGA agenda 100%.
