They redraw congressional maps whenever they want, reversing a 66% mandate for independent commissions.
A 51-49 vote rewrote a rulebook mid-decade.
Both sides do it. Neither side admits it.
The uncomfortable truth everyone needs to see before 2026..
There’s a huge difference between VA and TX…the votes of the people. And when Californians voted, they put a temporary date on it, noting it’s just to counter the TX move, which was NOT brought to vote. In TX one guy just did it to appease another guy whose poll numbers are weeks away from matching those of Nixon at his resignation time. Thats so dangerous.
Your argument has holes big enough for a Cyber truck to drive through. First, there are states that have already refused to redistrict, or, at the very least are fighting the idea, Iowa being one of them. Second, if the vote only requires a majority, 51% is good enough. It doesn't need to match or surpass the 66%. Third, this is going to court because of Trump. He doesn't want to risk losing his chance at a majority. That aside, this decision is perfectly legal. Fourth, Virginia and other states aren't acting in a vacuum. They're acting in response to Texas and other states who decided to do Trump's bidding and redistrict out of census so that he'd have a chance to keep power during midterms.
The ENTIRE story is important. Your framing is making Virginia some rogue stste and that's not what's happening. Don't pick up on the habits of Bill Maher and others who make decisions about what the truth is. Tell it all or don't tell any of it.
