This might be one of the biggest backfires in history.<\/p>\n

In a dramatic turn of events, Republicans now hold the edge to hold the House in the upcoming midterm elections after the Virginia Supreme Court struck down its proposed redistricted map.<\/p>\n

Virginia sparked nationwide fury when Gov. Abigail Spanberger and her Democrat colleagues attempted to gerrymander its districts to push out Republicans.<\/p>\n

Several Southern states responded by redistricting their own maps, but legally.<\/p>\n

As Bethany O\u2019Leary tried to explain to a furious leftist over the news. There\u2019s a big difference in how the states acted.<\/p>\n

\u201cTennessee and Florida simply passed normal legislation through the standard legislative process. No constitutional shortcuts. No procedural violations.
\nOne was cheating the system.
\nThe other followed the rules.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not \u201crigging maps.\u201d That\u2019s called following the law.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the leftist responded by calling her a stupid, \u2018c-word\u2019, and argued that Virginia \u201clet the voters decide\u201d, O\u2019Leary calmly followed up to explain more:<\/p>\n

\u201cVirginia Democrats tried to sneak a constitutional amendment onto the ballot by violating their own procedural rules. The Virginia Supreme Court, in a 4-3 decision, said \u201cnah\u201d and threw it out.
\nTennessee and Florida passed regular legislation through the normal legislative process. No constitutional tricks. No rule-breaking.<\/p>\n

One side got caught cheating the system.
\nThe other followed the law.
\nCrying \u201cthey f*cked their citizens\u201d because YOU didn\u2019t like the outcome doesn\u2019t make you right. It just makes you sound like an emotional toddler throwing a tantrum when the rules don\u2019t go your way.<\/p>\n

STAY mad,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

And MAD they are. But there was also a lot of celebrating over the breaking news.<\/p>\n

\u201cKeep playing hardball!\u201d Eric Daugherty urged Republicans.<\/p>\n

\n

HOLY COW<\/p>\n

HOLY COW<\/p>\n

OH MY GOSH!<\/p>\n

In a 4-3 decision, the Virginia Supreme Court ruled that the legislature violated procedural rules to put the redistricting referendum on the ballot.<\/p>\n

The election results are thrown out!<\/p>\n

This is a political earthquake!<\/p>\n

Gov Spanberger was also raked over the coals.<\/p>\n

\n

Justice has been served. From the beginning, this was the most obvious violation of Virginia\u2019s Constitution. Abigail Spanberger and Democrats in Richmond knowingly violated our constitution to disenfranchise millions of Virginians.<\/p>\n

The Constitution prevailed, and Virginians will\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/WkoEwhMPOH<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Democrats in Virginia wasted over 30 million dollars and virtually all of Abigail Spanberger\u2019s political capital on a gerrymandering battle she didn\u2019t even originally want to fight and which has now been totally nullified.<\/p>\n

\n

Hard to overstate how much Virginia\u2019s insanity, led by Democrat Louise Lucas, pushed multiple red states to redistrict. The Callais decision from SCOTUS was obviously important, but by itself it wouldn\u2019t have led to TN or AL redistricting. The insanely corrupt Democrat overreach\u2026<\/p>\n

The redistricting war is turning into a total catastrophe for House Democrats.<\/p>\n

No doubt, Dems will be reeling for days. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n
