Special guest Ken Cuccinelli breaks down the Democrats' audacious attempts to manipulate the state's redistricting process and discusses the implications of these actions on election integrity and constitutional law. With a bipartisan commission having established one of the fairest congressional maps in the country just five years prior, Cuccinelli highlights the stark contrast in political motivations driving the current push for a new constitutional amendment. He discusses the role of the Virginia Supreme Court in adjudicating these disputes and the significance of early voting and irregularities that have surfaced in the latest electoral cycles.
