Silly Democrats, Gerrymandering is for Republicans

In April, Virginia had a statewide ballot measure election, and voters chose to allow gerrymandering in order to counter right-wing gerrymandering and election rigging. Despite the will of the people, the Virginia Supreme Court struck it down in a partisan decision. We cannot keep this up if we want to continue pretending we live in a free and fair democracy. On one side, red states are gerrymandering to their Jim Crow hearts’ content, and their Supreme Courts are gleefully allowing it. In blue states, Supreme Courts are saying you can’t do that, effectively allowing one side to cheat while blocking the other from responding in kind. This cannot stand and our union cannot withstand such partisan interference.
NOTE: When Virginians went to go vote on this it made it clear that this was temporary since they were just trying to fight the rank power grab of republicans. The question on the ballot said, “Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to allow the General Assembly to temporarily adopt new congressional districts to restore fairness in the upcoming elections, while ensuring Virginia’s standard redistricting process resumes for all future redistricting after the 2030 census?”
