Virginia Democrats got what they deserved

TL;DR

  • The Virginia Supreme Court invalidated a Democrat-backed referendum on redistricting, citing illegal procedural violations.
  • Democrats ignored warnings from their own strategists that the process was legally tainted.
  • Despite significant spending and a narrow 'yes' vote, the referendum failed due to unconstitutional methods.
  • Democratic arguments that the court should have intervened earlier or that the vote silences millions were dismissed as irrelevant to the procedural legality.
  • Comparisons to redistricting efforts in California by Democrats were made, highlighting that while other states have engaged in redistricting, Virginia's process was deemed unlawful.
  • The article suggests that attempts to challenge the ruling, including an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, are likely to fail.
  • The author criticizes the reactions of some Democrats and 'leftist thought leaders' as undemocratic and hyperbolic.
