BETCHA' DIDN'T KNOW....
Today is election day in Virginia.
On the ballot is this:
Question: Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to allow the General Assembly to temporarily adopt new congressional districts to restore fairness in the upcoming elections, while ensuring Virginia's standard redistricting process resumes for all future redistricting after the 2030 census?
The wording is ....I haven't taken a civics or poly-sci class in years. I don't have access to the style guide...There's a technical/legal/academic term for this that
OH RIGHT!
It's BULLSHIT.
Sorry for the francophone digression but this amendment is Grand Theft State.
Constitutional amendments are NOT in anyway temporary measures.
The before and after if this gets passed is here:
If you are in Virginia and can legally vote please vote no.

To be frank, given all the mail in shenanigans, I'm astonished that it was as close as it was. This was a double-off-year special election which is something that Republicans are at a severe structural disadvantage at, and yet they almost pulled it off.
The dumbfounding ineptitude of the state Republican party should not be ignored here. Folks need to loose their jobs over the lack of campaigning for "No!" but just a hair under half the state was informed enough to go to the polls on a date there is usually no election to try and stop this.
This bodes well for future elections.
At least in other states.
For Virginians, however, the future is dark indeed. Spanberger and her team will soon control everything and when they do they'll be singing the song of their people.
