Virginia Got Fairfaxed
For brief time on Election Night it appeared that common sense and fair play had prevailed in Virginia. You could see it in the horror on the faces of the CNN hosts as they were forced to report that a NO vote on the blatantly misleading redistricting referendum was ahead by almost 10 points.
Then came the Fairfax ballot dump. In a period of about six minutes NO went from a comfortable lead to losing by just a little over two points.
The Democrat power grab, which will rig all but one congressional district to favor Dems, was a success.
Career bureaucrats in Fairfax County control Virginia.
It took upwards of $70 million for Democrats to blanket the commonwealth with lies about how gerrymandering was really all about Trump. Or to promote the silly fiction that the new district lines are temporary.
Even after dusting off Barack Obama and getting him to cheer the move to disenfranchise millions of Republicans, the forces of evil prevailed only by a hair, showing that in most parts of Virginia the Democrat party is deeply unpopular.
Consider this: Abigail Spanberger - after she falsely claimed to be a centrist during the campaign - won the gubernatorial race by a whopping margin of 15%. One year earlier, Kamala Harris beat Donald Trump in Virginia by about five points.
The gerrymandering referendum - with all the might and money of the corrupt Democrat Party - squeaked through.
Ordinary, decent Virginians from Bristol to Virginia Beach to Lynchburg were angry enough to storm the polls on Election Day.
They came close but were ultimately drowned out by voters in one county in Northern Virginia.
With just a 51% victory, power drunk Democrats plan to disenfranchise 49% of the population to stop the “tyranny” of Donald Trump.
Oh, the irony.
Only the courts can turn this repulsive move back by ruling that the referendum itself was illegal. A brave Tazewell County Circuit Judge issued an injunction, barring the certification of the votes.
Both sides are submitting their arguments to the Virginia Supreme Court today. It’s hard to see how the justices can allow the referendum to stand, yet the court is full of political appointees. How much courage will they display to uphold their oaths to the Virginia Constitution?
It’s clear that Democrats violated numerous laws to hastily put this measure to the voters.
First, the language of the ballot question. Virginia requires that questions be in plain English and neutral. "The explanation shall be presented in plain English, shall be limited to a neutral explanation.”
Is this language neutral?
Beyond that, there are multiple other laws that were violated.
No doubt the foul-mouthed vulgarian, Louise Lucas, was high-fiving last night with Attorney General Jay Jones who dreamed of putting bullets in the heads of Republicans.
This is what passes for leadership in Virginia today.
This is a sad day for those of us who remember a Virginia where Democrats and Republicans treated each other with a modicum of respect. And the president of the Senate wasn’t an old woman who uses the F word and posts hateful trash like this on social media.
Virginians deserve better, but elections have consequences.
Thank you, Fairfax.
