task force at the Virginia Military Institute tasked with distancing the college from the “Lost Cause” messaging that has long undergirded its curriculum.

This is what pisses me off..
So lets create a task force, to monitor and disband a curriculum that shows all sides and ideologies of a war.

I grew up in Ohio, so everything was taught on a Northern slant, and the main focus was slavery. BUT... my main high school history teacher was black, and tried to show all sides of the war.

Heck, we used to walk down the street, and hold class at the Confederate Cemetery.
(It was great, we would stop at the ice cream shack right next to it, get hot dogs, burgers, etc.. then sit in on the lawn, in the cemetery and hold class. It was an inner city school, and with a melting pot of poor people, and no one thought any different/or was triggered)..

Every time I think it couldnt get any worse with politicians they always prove me wrong...

What does the polling look like for the upcoming vote on redistricting?

Same as any other vote, it depends on who you ask.

I did early voting here in Virginia Beach and asked about it and they told me it was pretty heavy. God Bless

I don't know about the polling. However, a few weeks ago we stayed in Fredrick, MD during a visit to the DC area (cherry blossom time). What little local TV we watched was infested with political ads to vote for the redistricting. One hopes the good citizens of VA are going to come out in force and vote against this abomination.

Let me help you out. Which way did you come in?

Virginia Department of Elections results link.

50/50 as I write this; the NO votes led by five percentage points just a few minutes ago.

The text on the ballot:
“Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to allow the General Assembly to temporarily adopt new congressional districts to restore fairness in the upcoming elections, while ensuring Virginia's standard redistricting process resumes for all future redistricting after the 2030 census?”

I’ve read that there’s at least one lawsuit in the works regarding the wording on the ballot.

Politicians seem to have forgotten that they work for us, not the other way around.

Virginia voters pass redistricting referendum, setting stage for new congressional maps

Democrats scored a major victory on Tuesday as a congressional redistricting referendum that could give Democrats a significant boost in the battle for the U.S. House of Representatives majority in this year's midterm elections was passed by Virginia voters, the Associated Press reported at 8:49 p.m. ET.

The ballot measure gives the Democrat-controlled Virginia legislature — rather than the state's current nonpartisan commission — temporary redistricting power through the 2030 election. It could result in a 10-1 advantage for Democrats in Virginia's congressional delegation, up from their current 6-5 edge.

That would give the Democrats four additional left-leaning U.S. House seats ahead of the midterms as the party tries to win back control of the chamber from the GOP, which currently holds a razor-thin majority.

The standalone spring referendum capped months of political crossfire and court battles, sky-high early voting turnout, and tons of national attention and money poured into the ballot box showdown.

Even though a majority of voters gave the ballot initiative a thumbs up, it still faces legal challenges.

The Supreme Court of Virginia allowed the referendum to move forward after a lower court struck it down. But legal challenges to the referendum remain unresolved and are still before Virginia's highest court.

PBS was showing no was winning by a percent, now it has flipped,

seem to recall that some judge or judges commented that the court case to stop it was not legal but there may be some legal ground once the vote was held,

I maybe remembering a pipe dream, but either way, looks like the typical areas, NOVA, Richmond Metro, Tidewater carried the vote, while the rest of the state went red

also saw a blurb about how the voting was almost as strong as the last election,

which means low turnout and lots of apathy

Virginia voted today to end the Republic. Following the midterms, Trump will be impeached. Future Political questions will be decided by violence rather than elections.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

I'm afraid that there's a lot of truth to this.

I read yesterday that Florida is in line as well.

Final results from Virginia Department of Elections website:

A little quick math, for the curious

Total vote difference:
1,574,509 (yes) – 1,485,658 (no) = 88,851

Mail-in vote difference:
215,896 (yes) – 82,266 (no) = 133,630

Make of that what you will.

Fairfax county has a 788,000 voting age population (+18 adults) but has 813,000 registered voters on the rolls. Childs play for them to come up with +35,000 fraud DEM ballots in voting overtime. Dirty voter rolls is the foundation of election fraud
