In reply to the discussion: MAGA Erupts After 'Disgusting' Blow to Trump [View all]DET
(2,544 posts)45. Deal With It
Republicans pulled out all the stops to deceive Virginia voters in their promotional materials about the referendum. We got several mailers a day declaring that Obama and Spanberger want you to vote NO. It was relentless, so much so that I was really concerned that the lies would work. Fortunately, voters saw through the bullsh*t and voted YES.
I think most Virginia voters were perfectly happy with their current district assignments. But the blatant cheating in red states could not go unaddressed. Yes, the new districts are completely disproportionate, but thats what happens when the other side decides to fight back hard.
