THEY CHANGED THE RULES MID-GAME

And called it democracy. Then a judge called it something else. Now Virginia’s Supreme Court gets to decide who’s right - after the votes are already cast.

Current vs proposed Virginia congressional districts — the map at the center of the fight

Yesterday, Virginia voters approved a constitutional amendment allowing politicians to redraw congressional maps mid-decade. It passed 51–49.

Six years ago, 66% voted to take that power away.

So here’s the question nobody wants to answer:

Because if rules can change whenever power changes… what are they actually protecting?
