I'm not going to be disappointed if the referendum fails tomorrow but it's very funny how many conservatives who cheered Texas have suddenly decided that rural Virginians are special people who shouldn't be fucked over.

Trump started this fight in Texas with his MAGA Republican elected officials. Virginia is finishing the fight via the will of the people. #VirginiaVotesYes

A new, telling sign emerges about GOP’s midterm fears Tony Gonzales resigned from Congress nearly a week ago. Why hasn’t Republican Gov. Greg Abbott set a special election?

been week since former Rep. Tony Gonzales resigned from Congress after Texas Repub admitted to having unethical sexual relationship with at least 1 former aide, who later died by suicide.

Yet governor, Greg Abbott, has yet to set special election to fill Gonzales’ seat—and that silence is telling

“It wasn’t going to be a fair fight nationally if you try steel seats in Texas, in N Carolina, and in Missouri…

What were we supposed to do, nothing? Just allow them to try to stack the deck…to steal seats? All we’re trying to do is…make the system as fair as it can possibly be.”

Lady Liberty with boxing gloves on and text: FIGHT BACK VoteYES Virginia Redistricting Amendment Do nothing, a minority of voters could elect the majority of the US House. The Virgina Redistricting Amendment gives voters - not politicians - the final say to level the playing field. No map takes effect without voter approval. Virginians can see the maps before voting. This is a temporary, emergency step - not a permanent change. It will automatically sunset after the 2030 census.

Texas ＆ Florida already locked in their rigged maps to secure extra seats—now it’s our turn to fight back. TOMORROW, April 21, 6am–7pm, we pass this temporary fix to protect Virginia’s interests through 2031. Same-day registration available at your polling place.
