‘Pushing back’: Counties join cities to battle Virginia Democrats’ agenda to exclude Republicans from Congress

Leftist lawmakers in Virginia are demanding that Democrats have a 10-1 advantage over Republicans in the state’s congressional districts, even though the 6-5 split now represents closely the actual voter presence in the state.

But they face lawsuits, and the state Supreme Court has allowed a vote on that dispute to move forward even as the justices deliberate whether it even is legal, with critics explaining that the Democrats have refused to follow the state constitutional requirements for such a change.

But now there’s a huge new opposition front developing for those Democrats: Cities and counties where officials are aghast at the state plan.

State Delegate Wren Williams said officials in Patrick, Campbell, Charlotte, Spotsylvania, Prince George Scott, Washington, Floyd and Roanoke counties already are developing, or at least considering, measures that could create impediments for the agenda.

According to a report by Fox News, the “pushing back” against the Democrats’ agenda on the state level includes formal challenges.

For example, in Patrick County, officials have adopted a resolution that postpones “early voting” until just days before the April 21 vote.

The Democrats’ move is part of their agenda to take representation away from Republican voters in any states where they have the political power to impose new districts in the shapes of an octopus. Such alignments push GOP regions of states into districts with huge Democrat populations in cities, depriving those GOP voters of equal representation.

The Democrats’ plan at the state level, if approved by voters, would redraw the state’s congressional map, pushing out many of the Republicans and replacing them with those chosen by Democrat-leaning areas.

Other states already have done such work, such as California where its promotion of Democrats also is under legal challenge.

A legal challenge to the Democrats’ plans already is in court in Tazewell County. There a judge stopped the election, ruling it didn’t follow the state’s requirements. Judge Jack Hurley Jr. concluded that the Democrats’ plan was “invalid from the start.” The state Supreme Court is considering the fight now, and said a vote could be held while it deliberates whether that would be constitutional.

Senate President L. Louise Lucas, D-Portsmouth, responded to the fact that Texas also redistricted, but in that case changed several Dem-leaning districts into ones where a Republican has a greater chances.

“You all started it and we f[—]ing finished it,” Lucas claimed.

The report noted Rockingham County has stated, officially, “congressional redistricting has significant consequences for the ability of communities to elect representatives who understand and are familiar with their values, priorities and regional needs.”

Across the state, yard signs asking voters for a “No” on the dispute have appeared in Amherst, Stephenson, Buena Vista and more.

WND previously reported in the courts, the Republican National Committee, National Republican Congressional Committee and several GOP House members from Virginia are fighting the Democrats.

Critics also point out that the referendum is illegal because it claims to restore “fairness” while not doing that. And it is accused of being “misleading.”
