In an opinion delivered by Justice D. Arthur Kelsey [appointed by then-Gov. Mark Warner (D)] the Circuit Court says the process Democrats used to draw new congressional boundaries was unconstitutional. [SEE RULING HERE] That process “incurably taints the resulting referendum vote and nullifies its legal efficacy.”
The court said that maps put in place in 2021 must be used in the November elections instead. Three justices dissented from the court’s ruling.
VIRGINIA – The Virginia Supreme Court on Friday overturned the state’s redistricting ballot measure that would have given Democrats an edge in four House districts, dealing the party a massive blow ahead of the midterms.
The ruling now gives Republicans a clear lead in the gerrymandering efforts over the last year, which were further inflamed by the Supreme Court’s Voting Rights Act decision last week.
Virginia voters passed the measure last month. But the state’s top court ruled that legislative Democrats did not follow the proper procedure when rushing the referendum to the ballot.
Virginia Justice D. Arthur Kelsey, writing for the majority, said Democrats “submitted a proposed constitutional amendment to Virginia voters in an unprecedented manner” that violated state law. (Source)
PRIDE GOETH BEFORE THE FALL: Hakeem Jeffries’s Big Mouth Comes Back to Bite Him After Virginia’s 10-1 Democrat Gerrymander Gets Nuked (VIDEO)

Id like to wack him in his mealy mouth with my new stiletto framing hammer
Democrats always gloat!
It’s racist not to allow black racism, right Hak-thup . /sarc
Everything the democrats do is unconstitutional, they’re a corrupt organization that needs to be made extinct …
Dems fight the law and the law wins!

From Ben Cline, the Congressman representing our 6th district:
“This is the correct decision, and it was always going to end up this way. Democrats broke laws that they helped write in the first place, blew through deadlines, wrote a biased and misleading ballot question, and lied to the voters in all of their advertising to support the referendum. The voters of Virginia banned gerrymandering six years ago, and that ban remains in effect today. This is a great day for fair elections and the rule of law, and it’s a great day for the Commonwealth of Virginia.”

Virginia is still for lovers, not haters! God bless the Commonwealth!
I do wish the Republican Party would put the video of Hakeem Jeffries giving his speech about Virginia redistricting and kicking Republican`s butts and how Texas is running scared, would be lucky to get two or three seats, put that video on a loop and play it 24/7.
I would love to see a video of someone kicking Haakkeeem’s butt up and down the Capitol steps!
On a loop, 24/7.
Why are democrats so obnoxious!
Because they are Democrats.
Republican MAGA efforts at redistricting are mostly succeeding while Democrats efforts are mostly being rejected because the GOP is following the Constitution while the Dems are relying on the same race-baiting tactics they’ve always used!
Race-based gerrymandering is, at its core, discriminatory and the kind of “Whoever doesn’t see it our way is a Jim Crow, racist!” rhetoric that worked 50 years ago isn’t cutting the mustard anymore!
The scoresheet so far, according to Gateway Pundit, is Dem redistricting in California and Utah may gain them 6 additional House seats while MAGA redistricting in Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Missouri, Ohio and now Tennessee looks like a gain of 14 seats!
If that holds true, Democrats chances of retaking the House in the midterms are looking dimmer than AOC’s frontal lobes!
All that matters is the votes.
If you don’t think Democrats and Independents are going to show up en masse, you are on a special kind of drug.
Bring it on homer.
Democrats cheating
I’d rather be on that special kind of drug than the Kool-aid you seem to be drinking! Of course the votes matter, but it also matters who the voters get to vote for…and if redistricting results in less Dem candidates on ballots across the country how is that not a helluva plus for MAGA?
Right after the racial gerrymandering comes the rank choice voting. Wondering when the people of Alaska will open their eyes and see that this RANK choice was the brainless child of one Lisa “MURKY” Murkowski as the only way to return to the Senate seat gifted her by Daddy?
Let’s start looking at the candidates now to see how MAGA they are. My guy, Wittman, not so much. Better than a Dem for sure, but not MAGA. He voted yes for funding the NED.
He is not MAGA. He votes which way the wind blows. He will be my Rep. again later this year when we move.
Let’s hope and pray much that the voters in Virginia will do the right thing on Election Day. It’s not a win until it’s a win on Election Day.
And the Dems still know how to cheat. That hasn’t changed.
Excellent. They really had gone too far.
Crystal Ball 2026 House Ratings now predict Repubs will keep the House….
Which “justices” dissented? It was plug obvious the referendum was unlawful on the ballot, and had fatally prejudicial language about “restoring fairness” in the text. The question is: knowing this, why did the Dems go through the whole exercise? Why make themselves look like cheats, why show Spanberger for the con artists she is? There have to have been an ulterior motives.
Why?
Because they have no shame. No scruples. No integrity.
They went for it illegally because they have no fear of repercussions. The corrupt media covers for them.
Because they actually thought they would get away with it. They’ve always gotten away with underhanded dealings in the past. But this time they pushed a little too far. That’s what greed and corruption will do to you sometimes.
Suck it Newsom!
He probably would.
The question that has to be asked is why? Did they think that the Virginia SC would simply ignore the State’s laws, or that the SC itself would not strike this attempt at illegal gerrymandering down.
Was it a panicked response to the SC decision on banning districts based on racial grounds, that had been leaked to them? This would certainly explain the rushed timetable as they knew the liberal ‘justices’ couldn’t delay for ever and they hoped that Red States would be too late to react to the ruling.
Something, somewhere, didn’t go to plan, or the Democrat Party, and it’s MSM enablers, are so desperate to maintain a narrative of imminent victory that they are prepared for short-term, headline grabbing events to keep the faithful energised.
Let me guess witch so called justices dissented
I would be very impressed if you actually KNEW the 7 VA Supreme Court Justices 🙂
“Rep. Greg Steube Warns Of Mass Mail-In Ballot Fraud Ahead of a Potential Hantavirus Pandemic Scare”….
https://twittee.com/bennyjohnson/status/2052460602833174860
THIS!!!
Fauci still is delivering his evil. Read tonight that the Phizer CV19 shot contained elements of the Hantavirus virus.
So of course if you are freaked out about the thought of a “rat virus” versus a “bat virus ” you will always test positive if so inclined to freak out and get tested for the “rat virus”
Here Fauci goes again right before the midterms. And may God have mercy on anyone who falls for Fauci’s bullshit again.
There is a special place for Fauci. What that place is not something to dwell on at this hour. His time will come. I hope I am alive long to witness what happens to him.
The commiecrats assumed they’d be able to get away with it and just change it back AFTER the 2026 election. Oopsie.
The name and text of the bill were both unconstitutional. Pretty much electioneering.
How in the world could 3 Virginia SC justices ignore the error made in this case? It’s black and white-there must be a consecutive election before changes can be made !!
Woot! Woot!
Many talking heads were complaining that the RNC didn’t appear to be pouring much effort (time & money) into countering this election and/or weren’t taking it seriously.. It was all but assured that the election would be nullified by the VASC since the Dems were cheating & trying to pull a fast one as usual.
BOHICA!
Crafty. Save the money to pay the lawyers.
Thanks be to God!
But never lose vigilance.
St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen. .
Now do Utah!
Yeah this one stinks! One of the Utah Supremes resigned today amidst an inappropriate sex scandal with a liberal attorney who was part of their midterm gerrymandering case that ruled in favor of the Dems.

Hakeem says they’re going to appeal to SCOTUS. I look forward to seeing what the alleged violation of the US Constitution is.
SCOTUS won’t take the appeal IMO.
Nope, this case is settled. Hakeem is a booger-eating moron, the VA Dems violated their State Constitution not the US Constitution, therefore SCOTUS will bounce this back to the state Supremes & they’ve already ruled.
It is a state court ruling on their own state constitution. It’s not a federal issue. SCOTUS has no standing to take the case unless there is some federal nexus.
Oh, yes. That’s why I said alleged.
They can dream up all sorts of alleged constitutional violations. I’m just looking forward to seeing how creative and/or desperate they are.
Hallelujah
they’re just going to redo it the proper way and get the results they want. They play to win. We’re aw-shucks losers. It’s why I’m independent.
Jason Miyares, former AG, was just asked this question on FOX Business. He said nope. That ship has sailed. He said it is a great day for Virginia and the Constitution.
That won’t be until 2028, and after 2026 legislative voting, they may not be in the majority in both the House and Senate in VA. For 2026, they are done, as the VA Supreme Court ruling is the end. There will be no certiorari coming from the SCOTUS.
The gerrymandering in california should be illegal too, because it was based on race!

I don’t live in VA, but from the looks of things, Republicans lit an extra fire under Democrats and Independents for November. They are going to show up at the polls like rabid dogs and do this the old fashioned way.
I am going to laugh if all of this ends up backfiring on the GOP.
🍿🍿🍿
LOL. If they couldn’t light a fire in 2024 with Trump on the ballot, you won’t even see any smoke in 2026 with him not on the ballot.
Besides the Republican states like Texas and Florida who have redistricted, there and now many other states who will have to do so, even blue states, to comply with the recent SCOTUS ruling declaring racial gerrymandering unconstitutional.
LMAO! Democrats are so panicked they didn’t even spell “VIRGINIA” correctly as they move to appeal to the literal US Supreme Court, in a bid to revive their 10D-1R gerrymander
“Virgnia”
It’s also rife with errors, including “Sentator”

Too bad Clippy, Microsoft Word’s helpful paperclip, wasn’t still around to spellcheck for them.
Since when did Democrats let something silly like “the law” get in their way of what they want?
Gee……..the demonrats gerrymandering rendered unconstitutional! It’s just in their blood….their nature to be corrupt, against the Constitution and America, it’s values and our Republic.
The difference between now and the past……they can’t hide it anymore. The mind control program has been broken, and the people see through the corrupt media.
As not for demonrats and their party……..there would be nothing better for us and our country if they were extinct!
#KARMA
I must say for all the hand wringing on the republican side about losing the midterms, I can’t help but wonder why the Democrats seem so desperate, more than you would expect from a sure thing……….
