Scheme would give 49% of the state ONLY 9% of the state’s congressional representation
By Bob Unruh
The state Supreme Court in Virginia has refused to back, at least immediately, a radical Democrat scheme to redistrict the state’s congressional districts to give 49% of the state’s residents, the Republicans, a whopping 9% of the state’s congressional delegation.
The 91% would all go to Democrats, according to their agenda. While the districts now are split 6-5 in favor of Democrats, the leftists are demanding a 10-1 split.
Voters approved the idea just days ago.
But it’s not taking effect right away, and the state Supreme Court has denied a motion by the state attorney general and others to impose an emergency stay of an order from a circuit court which concluded the legislature failed to abide by the state’s own constitution in adopting the scheme, so it is illegal.
“The court denies the motion,” said a statement from the court clerk.
It was Tazewell County Circuit Judge Jack Hurley who had blocked the Democrats, determining it was illegal on procedural grounds and that redistricting this way required following strict constitutional amendment procedures.
