Seems the VA Supreme Court actually upheld the law.
Raise your hand if you didn't think that was actually going to happen. (Because a lot of the VA SC are there because of Democrat Governors. So I figured they'd be like, "It's fine. What chu talkin' bout Willis?")
Of course, the VA Gerrymanderers are yelling about taking it to SCOTUS, because why should laws apply to democrats, after all? And the idiots on Faceplant are whining about "They took away my vote!" Yeah, the vote you shouldn't have had b/c they didn't follow the law to give it to you? That vote? Plus the fans of "Well Republicans do it in other states."
And you know what? They shouldn't be able to. NO ONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GERRYMANDER.
Period.
End of sentence.
Now, I suspect everyone has different visions of what gerrymandering actually is, so it's something states need to figure out what their population feels and make some rules (no, the federal government should not do this. The federal government is too big already. They need to just get over themselves.)
While we're at it, can we go back to Senators being elected by the state legislatures? Please?
Anyway. A small win. Possibly a temporary one. But it was a teensy ray of hope.
