That is all

This isn't over.

... he'll be over ridden by appeal.

EVERY win that we have, without exception, will be overturned or challenged.

So, we have to dig in our heels and fight back on every single challenge and appeal every single overturn of outcomes.

Edit to add

They are simply there to look after the best interest of the billionaires.

Bought and paid for…

To tie EVERY race, EVERY election up in court?

This is itr folks! Be ready to fight!!

"I must overturn the will of the People, because (as Sparky the Penguin says), blargh, blargh...."

We just need 11,780 votes? hahahaha

They filed this in Tazewell, which is in southwest Virginia - an area long recognized as the poorest, most backward part of the state. It might as well be West Virginia.The entire county of Tazewell has something like 40,000 people. Fairfax County has over one million. Typical Republican bullshit.

There will be an appeal

WTF? THE PEOPLE IF VA VOTED 🤬🤬🤬

This must not stand.

On what basis was this ruled?

They have a lot of confidence it will get through with a thumbs up from them but then again, nothing is guaranteed. Repukes stated from the outset they would sue immediately if it passed.

Tazewell County Circuit Judge Jack Hurley has essentially "voided" the results of the special election based on several procedural failures:


Violating the "Two-Session" Rule: To amend the Virginia Constitution, a change must pass the General Assembly twice, with a House of Delegates election in between. The judge ruled that because Democrats passed it for the first time in October 2025—after early voting had already started for the 2025 election—it didn't count as being passed "before" that election. He argued this effectively disenfranchised the one million people who had already cast ballots.


Improper Special Session Usage: The amendment was originally fast-tracked during a special session called for the state budget. The judge ruled that the legislature violated its own procedural resolutions by adding the redistricting measure to the agenda without unanimous consent (which Republicans blocked).


The 90-Day Notice Rule: There is a constitutional requirement to provide public notice of a proposed amendment at least 90 days before an election. The judge found the state failed to meet this timeline before the January 2026 re-approval.
