Title: Virginia votes against trump
Post by Sprintcyclist on Apr 22nd, 2026 at 3:08pm




Quote:
      Virginia voters approved a full redrawing of the state’s congressional districts, according to Decision Desk HQ and NBC News, a change that could blunt President Donald Trump's push to expand the Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives.

The approved maps could transform Old Dominion's 11-member delegation from a 6-to-5 Democratic edge to an overwhelming 10-to-1 advantage.

Yes, I saw that.

The toddler in the White House won't be happy.

Virginia voters on Tuesday approved Democrats’ effort to gerrymander the state, giving the party an edge in its bid to reclaim the House in November.

The new map would give Democrats the chance to flip four seats currently held by Republicans. Its adoption could put Democrats slightly ahead in the national mid-decade gerrymandering wars — a result few thought possible when President Donald Trump picked the fight by pushing Texas Republicans to redraw their map last summer.

The result is a major win for Democrats’ hopes of retaking Congress, and showed their ability to mobilize voters distrustful of partisan redistricting and push back against Trump in the Democratic-leaning state. It’s also a victory for Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger in her first national test as governor, after she faced pressure to take a more active role in the campaign’s final stretch.

I know, Sprint and Greggery, but that's UNFAIR.

DL will see their jerrymandered election act and trump them with a federal voter-restriction act.

He'll ban all leftards, Autistics, Lezzos, Beaners and Nig Nogs from voting.

Take that, leftards. It may not happen overnight, but it will happen, no?
