The Democratic Party in VA tried to nullify the voices of millions of VA voters
All the Redditors and Democratic Party elected officials screaming their heads off about how the VA Supreme Court has nullified the votes of millions of Virginians would do well to remember that in the most recent presidential election, Harris took the state with 52% of the vote to Trump’s 46%.
Our current breakdown in terms of US Congressional representatives runs 6 Democratic Party representatives to 5 Republican Party representatives. The districts are set up by a bipartisan committee and, given the breakdown in terms of political party representation, is about as representative as it can get.
The redistricting effort would have most likely given the Commonwealth 10 Democratic Party representatives and 1 Republican Party representative, which doesn't reflect the voice of the voters here.
Given the percentages of the presidential race vote breakdown and the 6 to 5 ratio of party representation in Congress it seems clear that the VA Supreme Court decision prevented the Democratic Party in Virginia from nullifying the votes of millions of Virginians. The VA Supreme Court didn't nullify the voices of any voters, the court kept things balanced.
Argue amongst yourselves about whether early voting constitutes an ongoing electoral process, but the fact is, the Democratic Party in VA, in response to arguably legal actions taken in other states, sought to disenfranchise millions of Virginian voters. Remember, just because Virginia has a specific constitutionally mandated process to modify the VA Constitution doesn’t mean that other states have the exact same mandated process, so how they do what they do in other states or commonwealths is not necessarily the same as how we do what we do in Virginia.
