Yes, and this isn't good either.

We need to stop acting like the constitution has any say over this country anymore! The constitution is being used by the worst actors (ie John Roberts) to serve Christian Fascism and the Whites only agenda!

Which states have refused to enact voter referendums besides Missouri and now Virginia?

People should be flooding the streets. Demonstrate like the Europeans do. The court has now basically taken away your right to vote.

I agree, remove those judges and replace them with liberals. Thats what’s needed.

VA cannot just throw up their hands and say “well, we tried”. No, this (above) seems to be a good option. “Ok, you four judges want to fuck around? Well, you’re about to find out.” Impeach them.

The Confederacy was never prominent. This makes it more powerful and ascendant than it ever was in its own time.

The system is breaking down before our eyes. We're losing our democracy.

So we can now cancel elections of our choosing. Remember cited in the Declaration of Independence “when a government becomes destructive to the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, "it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government".

Democracy here to be read in the past tense

Kill, steal, destroy seems to be the plan. Such a devilish way to behave. He likes to incite violence. Might be hoping we all revolt, so he can call Marshall law before mid-terms&elections. Some say he'd be happy with only his followers surrounding him, while the rest of us were locked away. 🔒

Appeal to whom?

Of course. We'll see what happens in Florida

Ok do Louisiana next then

While this is correct, the good news is that going by PVI, the current map will probably still be a 9-2 map in 2026, and they still have plenty of time to update the map correctly for 2028. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgini...

This makes me so angry. The blatant racism from MAGA is getting worse. Everyone needs to wake up and pay attention to this.

Now on to the Supreme Court who already refused to overrule the TX and CA changes … Your thoughts on that??

They are only getting started.

Yeah. I really do not like that a decision like this is now in the universe.

This is what Authoritarianism looks like, we're not far from Russia with a Judicial system loyal to Vladimir Putin.

And yet, we (the sane and informed people) were labeled as hyperbolic when we warned the GOP is deadset on not just rigging elections, but cancelling them, nullifying the People's will. #GOPFascism

That seems to fly in the face of SCOTUS ruling

I don’t see how they can go against the Supreme Court’s ruling

Exactly. Follow the Ohio model.

can lawmakers in VA do the same bs that TX and TN are doing? They already know the will of the voters here.

Never let bastards steal your hope! It is what they want.🫶 LIVE: Kamala Harris speaks about the stakes of the 2026 election 18h Ago Former Vice President Kamala Harris speaks with leaders from the Nevada State Democratic Party about the stakes of the 2026 election. www.youtube.com/live/vkSTtNd...

I feel you…. and I’m out here pleading and educating people about the importance of voting with responses of “why should I vote when they’re going to do whatever they want in the end”. They have a point.

Virginia needs to just use them anyway. What will their Supreme Court do? Absolutely nothing…

Surly Democrats understood they were rolling the dice by bringing the session this way????

*Clarification: Apparently VA Dems do intend to file an emergency petition to US SCOTUS, telling them to apply their decision v. VA Supreme Court. bsky.app/profile/meid...

Your 160 year long civil war is coming to an end, and you've let the south win.

It's called a dual state.

No taxation without representation should be the start

"Musk knows those computers better than anybody, all those computers, those vote counting computers, & we ended up winning Pennsylvania, like, in a landslide." -Donald Trump...and Marc Elias told Harris not to ask even 1 question.

PLEASE Help VA.

When the judicial branch isn’t independent, democracy doesn’t exist. How many times does this need to be said by how many generations of politically engaged?

JUST IGNORE THE COURT. They ignore the voters, so we can ignore their corrupt and illegitimate asses.

As a Virginia voter, I feel like I’ve been punched in the gut…no words. 💔

Wish VA Dems would simply ignore it. Ohio republicans have held multiple elections on illegal maps and gotten away with it

Actually, political gerrymandering was always allowed, it is only racial gerrymanders that are now banned (even though it is clear the constitution allows racial gerrymanders when they are done to protect voting rights)

And wasted how many millions of taxpayer dollars to hold the election on something they could have reviewed last year.

Is this a bad time to bring up the "Death of Democracy" playlist of the World War II channel aka the actual Nazi playbook from the Third Reich? youtu.be/q4sP_X32-co...

Did Trump threaten them with the FBI?

DAMN IT

They did not overturn the will of the voters for technical reasons. They did it for specious, transparently bullshit, and purely partisan reasons.

What, and I cannot emphasize this enough, the fuck?

It’s all so disappointing. It’s more than that but I can’t think of another word, I’m just too tired.,

Impeach and imprison

that is fucking BULLSHIT

Can’t they just ram it through based on recent SCOTUS decision?

I think it's pretty audacious to use the word "nullify" here.

Ignore it. No quarter for Republicans.

Fuck.

This is the death croak of democracy in real time

So they invalidated it because of the 90 day wait period then? I thought Republicans were against waiting periods.

Gerrymandering for me but not for thee

Time for the voters to remove the Virginia Supreme Court by force. If necessary and then install legitimate justices and ask them again.

What was the technicality supporting the Virginia Supreme Court ruling against redistricting?

Redo it !

They need to remember that the democratic process is a compromise. The alternative is being dragged into the street by an angry mob that will bludgeon the tyrant to death. You don’t want History to repeat itself.

Or start a civil war! Who would have thought?

Respectfully, I'm tired of the Dems being reactive instead of pro-active and not fighting fire with fire.

Ignore the ruling

We’re hosed.

Then fuck the vote. Call a special session and do it like the stinking magats!

But SCROTUS said that partisan gerrymandering is A-OK....

The so-called "justice" system in this country has been completely de-legitimized by partisan hacks on the various "Supreme" courts. This is just one more example.

We aren’t a serious country. The Orange cancer has metastasized and there are limited options left to save the country’s future.

And regretfully our current leaders like that they don't vote. makes it easier to pander to rich donors. So...

Well, so that they can pick between oligarchs? At this point it has become a bit of a tautology.

Watch this will backfire on them…every time they try to pull some assbackwards out of their asses, it fails…

Now it’s time for VA voters to vote the will of the people. All Dems and independents must come out in November in huge numbers and vote out all pathetic weak sycophantic republicans. Fuck trump over and over. Show him the voters have the last laugh and the voters have the power. Fuck the man baby

When we gain control… here’s an idea: collect large penalties from all billionaire trump ring kissers who have ignored their own customers (we the people), that will 1st stabilize government, then provide every American $10k as a pay back for our monetary losses and some for stress.

Again, proving Republicans have to cheat to win. Complete corruption at a SUPREME level!

A court in (red) Tazewell county Virginia Population 38k in a state of about 9M, overturns the vote!?! Virginia has multiple counties with over 400k per county Loudoun 455k Fairfax. 1.2M Prince William 500k Chesterfield 400k Virginia Beach 450k Henrico 350k + Richmond city 220k (570) Arlington 245k

Spanberger has the votes in the legislature. Convene TODAY to pack Virginia's Supreme Court with like 20 new judges who will support the new maps. The 'Fuck You' we give to the Jim Crow fascists can't be soon enough, loud enough, or big enough.

Amazing how the courts can go full Jim Crow for the South to stop Dems from being elected but also overturn the will of the voters directly to stop Dems from getting elected. This country has become illegitimate.

Don’t follow rules or rulings that the other side won’t follow.

I’ve been saying that a 2nd civil war is likely inevitable at this point. Our country is divided and broken yet again and we’re in need of a reset.

Why do democrats bother to follow court decisions when their opponents just do what they want?

Virginia can just ignore the ruling. Ohio did.

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect. There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been." #SCOTUS

Someone should check the bank accounts of the va supreme court justices. And their crypto wallets and brokerage accounts. Or can we just assume Trump has kompromat?

Then GOTV!

Option 2: Purge voter rolls- and focus on Republican districts. Remember, SCOTUS said states can enact partisan measures, not racial ones, so PURGE them and keep it stealth. @abigailspanberger.com @vademocrats.bsky.social Democrats should always be thinking of work arounds to subvert this regime.

So is the court saying that amendment-by-referendum is invalid in itself? Seems like that issue would have come up before now.

Does anyone know what other states are options at this point? Probably none before the midterms, right?

What in the ACTUAL F#@%! CMON PEOPLE, GET UP AND DO SOMETHING, THIS 💩 HAS TO STOP

I don’t care what state you live in. I don’t even care what party you normally affiliate with. If anything is giving you a direction to vote, this ignorance toward the will of the people should be all you need to know. Wake up!

Republican motto: rules for thee, but not for me

VSC sounds to me like it's on the side of terrorism, fascism, and racism

*In a loss for Virginians

Just ignore them. What are they going to do? Send angry letters?

Pretty certain Judge Kelsey is not likely to have his term renewed in January

Oh look, another shamelessly right wing ruling from a GOP majority court. They’ve worked for decades to take over the courts and not just at the federal level.

Arter this is sorted out, we need to change that process as outlined in the VA constitution.

Fucking cunts

bsky.app/profile/donj...

GOP still gonna lose house.

If the ruling was because the legislative process was put forth too late because early voting had already started, could they not just hold a re-vote?

Unfuckinbelievable
