As a resident of Virginia, I voted “No” this morning on the stunning power-grab that commonwealth’s Democrats are trying to pass. If you’re an eligible Virginia voter, I encourage you to vote “No” as well in the course of this Election Day.

At issue is a constitutional amendment that would gerrymander the current congressional districts from a six Democrat to five Republican split to one in which there would be ten Democratic representatives to just one Republican. 

If it succeeds, nearly half the state’s electorate would effectively be disenfranchised. 

Adding insult to injury is ballot language claiming this gambit is designed to “restore fairness in the upcoming elections.” In fact, it’s designed to give Democrats control of the U.S. House of Representatives next year and consume the last two years of President Trump’s term with impeachments, subpoenas and other distractions. 

Just say “No.”
