BREAKING: The Virginia Supreme Court has voted to overturn the results of the state’s special election.

This decision silences the voices of Virginians who approved an updated congressional map that levels the playing field ahead of the midterms.

The fight continues.

Was anyone surprised? Not me. They want a dictatorship before the midterms and they're working hard to get one. And it's only early May.

I'm sure that's the point.

Give up hope, so don't bother voting.

·Virginia's map just got struck down. Is California next?

California's "mapmaker" drew its new maps to "ensure" that racially gerrymandered "VRA seats are bolstered in order to make them most effective." That's illegal under Callais.

My hopes for the mid-terms are fading.

The Republicans are shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic. They still have to dance to Trump's tune at least until the primary season is over (see the Indiana state senate, where Trump loyalists targeted 8 incumbent Republicans and knocked off at least 6 of them for failing to redraw Indiana's congressional map). Alabama actually is a state where the GOP might be able to squeeze out an extra seat, but against the backdrop of all the seats they will lose elsewhere it's de minimus.

To be clear, I will be happy to be wrong in my misgivings if he turns out to be genuine. I concede it is possible to innocently get a Nazi tattoo without realizing that it is a Nazi tattoo. That just ain't the timeline we seem to be in these days.

"Kiss were my favourite band, so I wanted to get a tattoo only it hurt too much and I stopped the artist after two letters and I didn't know he was going right to left..."

BOOM! Alabama just went straight to the US Supreme Court demanding they THROW OUT the current rigged Congressional map packed with 2 racially gerrymandered Dem seats!

Justice Clarence Thomas just ordered a response by 5PM Monday!

LFG!

Remember, Alabama going to the SC on redistricting is the legal process. Virginia going to the SC is subverting to rule of law.

It's like trying to stich up a wound without being allowed to remove the knife first.

The Virginia Supreme Court has affirmed what we believed from the beginning — the hastily drawn egregious gerrymander was unconstitutional. This ruling is a victory for democracy and ensures Virginians have fair representation in Congress.

The gerrymandering ruling remlnds me of Bush vs Gore

Somehow recounting votes would hurt voters whose votes had already been counted once.

Virginia should follow Andrew Jackson and Trump, just because the court said they can't doesn't mean they won't do it anyway.

The way the ballot language was deliberately and illegally drafted made it seem as though you had to vote yes to stop the gerrymander.

Somehow recounting votes would hurt voters whose votes had already been counted once.

The decision seems fairly straightforward to me and it had nothing to do with recounting votes:

Under the state constitution, the General Assembly must vote twice before sending a proposed constitutional amendment to voters for their consideration, with a general election intervening between those votes. Republicans argued that the first vote to approve the referendum – taken in late October 2025 – by the General Assembly did not count because early voting for the general election was well underway.
The court agreed.
“Early Virginia voters unknowingly forfeited their constitutionally protected opportunity to vote for or against delegates who favor or disfavor amending the Constitution by not anticipating a legislative vote on a constitutional amendment four days before the last day of voting,” Kelsey wrote for the four-justice majority.

The Democrats argued that a general election had intervened because election day 2025 itself had not yet passed, but due to early voting, a large number of votes had already been cast.

"Its not racial gerrymandering if we don't explicitly say it is racial, despite the fact that it completely silences a race conservatives have famously targeted."

They are not Nazis, they are NatCs (National Conservatives).
No, I wouldn't be able to tell them apart, either.

HOLY CRAP. A new Congressional map has been drawn that shows what happens to America when districts are COMPACT, fair in shape, account for actual population, without gerrymandering

280 REPUBLICANS
156 Democrats.

A jaw-dropping GOP majority

And DEMOCRATS have been cheating for decades. Not just the VRA race districts that have been abolished — but cheating the GOP out of fair seats

We MUST keep redrawing! Restore fair maps!
