The Dem VA Map Got Trashed by the State Supreme Court ... and Theyre Not Handling It Well.

The Virginia Supreme Court has struck down the gerrymandered map Democrats tried to pass via referendum—and they’re not taking it well. If this new congressional map had been approved, it would have given the Democrats a 10-1 advantage. Thankfully, the court noted that proper procedures must be followed for such actions, and, in a 4-3 decision, ruled that the Democrats did not meet the criteria. It’s sparked calls for civil war from some and sheer insanity from others.
