Virginia State Trial Court Enjoins New U.S. House Maps Passed by Voters

On April 22, Tazewell County Circuit Judge Jack Hurley enjoined Virginia from using the new U.S. House district boundaries that the voters had passed on April 21. Judge Hurley had also enjoined the April 21 election twice last month, but each time the State Supreme Court overruled him. See this story. Republican National Committee v Koski.

On April 23, the state filed this appeal with the Virginia State Appeals Court.

Virginia State Trial Court Enjoins New U.S. House Maps Passed by Voters — 86 Comments

  1. CNN IS FAKE NOISE. THERE ARE MUCH MORE ACCURATE NEWS SOURCES COVERING THIS, SUCH AS NOT THE BEE DOT COM.

  2. Apparently Richard Winger or someone working for him has closed the URL shortening loophole for posting Not The Bee links here. They now get immediately memoryholed just like the original NTB links rather than being held up for review.

  3. A big ale spam burger is sad today because a judge actually did the judge job and threw out the rigged phony referendum.

  4. The most awesome Virginia AG Jay Jones and the Democrats will prevail in the Virginia Supreme Court on the redistricting. The country bumpkin judge who issued the injunction is not a surprise, but the super smart Jay Jones is very persuasive in his response. He’s also very cute!

  5. Yes, Virginia, there is a Satan, and he does have claws.

    On April 21, a majority of ineligible Virginia voters said “yes” to a misleading ballot measure allowing the state’s US House districts to be redrawn for the benefit of the Satanic Communist DemonRat Party.

    Yes, Virginia, there is a Satan, and he does have claws.

    The next day, a judge banned certification of the election results, correctly calling the ballot language “flagrantly misleading” and accurately pointing out that state legislators didn’t follow relevant rules in putting the measure on the ballot.

    Yes, Virginia, there is a Satan, and he does have claws.

  6. Rigged? But of course.

    What recent US Elections haven’t been rigged by the evil sinister left? None. If the results are at all close, that means the election was stolen. To officially win, Patriotic Americans (right wingers) have to win actually legitimate votes by a massively huge margin, almost as large as Donald Trump’s freakishly huge penis.

  7. Besides the vote count being hugely rigged and flagrant widespread voting by ineligible voters as well as multiple votes cast by both eligible and ineligible voters, pretty much all the cheating being by communist demon rat scum,

    The referendum was extremely deceptive in it’s ballot language and pro campaign lies which were spread both unofficially by demonic agents of Satan, as well as by those same foul creatures serving Lucifer in their elected positions as DemonRats in state and local governments.

    One of the most heinous, despicable, fraudulent campaigns in the history not just of the USA, but the whole world. The scam was so massive that it may well have been the utmost ginormous con artist scheme anywhere ever, not only in politics and elections but in human history as a whole.

  8. The righteous punishment for all those who helped make this rigged vote happen is the worst torture and execution anyone can imagine, followed by an eternity of unimaginably horrible suffering in hell which only grows worse and worse over time, forever.

    May it come to pass in the name of Baby Jesus!

    Amen and Hallelujah!

  9. While there might be some hope of justice from the Virginia Supreme Court to nullify this fraudulent abomination, the best hope for the real Virginia may well be for President Trump (the Boss of all Bosses and King of all Kings) and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth the Great to send in federal troops to occupy Virginia and place it under the direct personal control of Archangel Donald Trump the Magnificent.

  10. Sorry, cut off too early.

    While there might be some hope of justice from the Virginia Supreme Court to nullify this fraudulent abomination, the best hope for the real Virginia may well be for President Trump (the Boss of all Bosses and King of all Kings) and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth the Great to send in federal troops to occupy Virginia and place it under the direct personal control of Archangel Donald Trump the Magnificent.

    Then and only then can Virginia have honest elections and proper representation in Congress, most likely for the first time since the great saintly General Robert E. Lee was most unfortunately forced to surrender at Appomattox by the dastardly tyrannical usurpers of federal power of those times, and certainly since the suicidally moronic expansion of voting rights to unworthy and incapable groups such as women, negroes, 18-20 year olds, and those who own no property and pay no poll tax.

    God bless President Trump, the only man who can Save Virginia and Save America, protect Him, and help Him to stamp out communism and fascism and restore legitimate government! In His holy name we all pray! AMEN!

  11. Short of returning the D.C. metro swamp to nature, or walling it off as a massive outdoor prison, or at least kicking it out of the US, the best solution might be to at least kick everything inside the D.C. beltway out of Virginia into DC.

  12. We must choose the voters and rig all the votes to democratically save democracy! Full global economic democracy is now well within reach! To the federal workers, everything; to the taxpayers, and to chance, we must leave nothing!

  13. Somone: because I got tired of dicktatorial little orange pricks always cumming and going and leaving me to clean up their mess. Buh bye, boys!

  14. Democracy! 51% of Virginia decides other 49% only gets 9% of state’s representation in Congress

    As Emperor Palpatine said in Star Wars, “I love democracy.”

    With 51% of the vote, Virginia passed a new congressional map that takes a state that votes 50-50 between Republican and Democrats, and gave Dems control of every congressional district except one.

    Dems will now control 90% of districts in a state they only won by 5%

    For the sake of “fairness”.

    As they say, democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on who to eat for lunch!

    The Democratic Party actually had the GALL to tweet this out after stealing the voices of millions of Americans in Congress:

    SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS

  15. Check out the wording of the proposal and see if maybe there might be some legal issues here:

    When Virginia Democrats say they want to gerrymander “to restore fairness” it actually means to “increase Democrat power”.

    How the hell was this BS language include on the ballot?!

    “Do you want to vote for puppies and sunshine, dear voters?”

    There are already multiple lawsuits being filed in Virginia courts as of Wednesday morning.

    Let’s just say regular Americans are … upset.

  16. I’ll leave you with a few John Adams quotes because WHY NOT.

    ‘There is, in short, no possible way of defending the minority, in such a government, from the tyranny of the majority, but by giving the former a negative on the latter.’ – John Adams, In Defence of the Constitutions, Vol. III).

    ‘Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself.’ – John Adams, 1814 letter

  17. So who controls the Virginia Supreme Court?

    You can file all the lawsuits you want, but power is all that matters, and anything and everything else is just fluff and window dressing.

    That’s the reality regardless of how much or little you like it.

    It’s not particularly surprising that those who prefer bigger government to smaller are usually better at manipulating it’s levers of power than those with the opposite preferences.

    Like, duh!

  18. The toothless inbred RepubliKKKan judge’s opinion will get overruled.

    Congratulations to the workers, voters, and people of Virginia for democratically fighting back against ultra maggot Reich wing Republiklan tyranny and fascism and enacting true Democratic fairness fairly and democratically through democracy!

    Si se puede! We did it! No representation for Republiklan rednecks! This shows we absolutely can, should, and must mess with Texas!

  19. Democrats are winning the gerrymandering game, so let’s keep playing. It’s good for us.

    Those who stand in the way of progress must be removed from blocking it, no matter what it takes. Fairness and justice demand it!

  20. Fake news CNN aside, clearly it was rigged.

    Rigged process to get on the ballot.

    Rigged ballot language.

    Rigged campaign of deception to barely pass it.

    Rigged voting.

    Rigged vote counting.

    Rigged from top to bottom and from the root to the toot.

    Scumbag tyrant spamburger should be removed by Liberator Trump. She was obviously compromised during her time at CIA and has become an agent of the Chinese Communist Party. Her entire pack of demon rats must be rooted out as well.

  21. VAG Jay Jones is a particular disgrace to humanity, aside from whatever the fake news Hill of Dung might have to say about it.

  22. Thank God for Ron DeSantis and Florida. They are going to push the redistricting battle in the right direction and, let us all pray, thus win the war. We do not need the demon rats taking control of congress yet again. They have done more than enough damage to our country already.

  23. The Florida Constitution forbids district lines that were drawn to help any particular party.

  24. Richard Winger,

    The Virginia constitution forbids the way this referendum was put on the ballot, but that didn’t stop them. It would be more interesting if you addressed the issue of news sources, particularly Not The Bee, raised in various comments above.

    As For Florida, it is quite possible to create a map which is not drawn “to help a particular party” but has that effect nevertheless.

  25. Ron DeSantis knows what he’s doing. Where there’s a will, there is a way.

  26. Hopefully, the US Supreme Court will finally at long last fully gut the so called Voting Rights Act. It would be great if Florida and other former Confederate States can resume distracting clearly and openly for the interest of White People and not any so called party.

  27. I wouldn’t worry about Florida. It’s solid. Most of the justices on their supreme court were appointed by Governor DeSantis. All constitutions mean whatever the courts ultimately decide they mean.

  28. A porn parody of this site’s comments would be retard fetish porn. The actual site comments themselves may well also be Retard fetish porn. Just saying.

  29. Yes, but see Judge Hurley’s decision for several reasons why the vote was called and conducted illegally.

  30. RAW,

    Correction: the area now called Virginia by its occupiers has not had legitimate government since the European, Abrahamist colonizers took it over. It won’t have legitimate government again until all the descendants of Europeans are scalped, enslaved, massacred, and/or shipped back across the ocean to their Ancestral Europe, and their Abrahamist religions are banished and destroyed everywhere.

    We must be led by Reds, not by an orange.

  31. Only true communism, Satanism, intersectional global revolution, forcibly transing everyone, ejecting Europeans and their culture and religions from every other part of the world, doing unto them as they have done unto us, reversing their environmentally destructive technological “advancement,” animal rights with full equality, ultrafeminist matriarchy, global redistribution of all resources and property in an equal manner, ultimately eliminating capitalism and individualism in all their forms, and restoring the balance of nature will save Mother Earth and Her more deserving children from extinction and ignominy.

  32. Hail Satan! Hail Communism! Hail Gaia! Hail the Spirits of our Native Ancestors, and if yours crossed an ocean, especially from Europe, I suggest you cross it right back before we round you up and deport you with more deaths than the African slave trade middle passage along the way! You are not welcome! Go back and take everything you brought with you!

  33. Jeez Stock posting three troll comments in a row under your “Taran” pseudonym is pathetic even for you.

  34. Kash Patel’s FBI should really investigate Knapp’s loyalty to our country, or rather lack thereof.

  35. Knapp is the one who trolls here under many names. He is obsessed with Robert Stock because he reminds him of Knapp’s older cousin Bob who molested him when he was a young boy.

  36. “Stop” trolling (Knapp), I know it’s very difficult for you, but could you please try to every once in a while be something other than a childish, endlessly repetitive, stupid, ignorant, mentally ill, off your meds, projecting, boring, basic troll? Just try to change it up a bit sometimes? Maybe get a life, get help, get a job, find some friends, hobbies – anything but troll here in such a brainless fashion every single day multiple times?

  37. Knapp is an attention whore. Whenever someone brings him up out of the blue when nobody was talking about him, you can be sure that person is Knapp himself. He can’t stand being ignored, but also can’t help censoring his blog comments due to his arrogance and control issues, which drives people away.

    That’s why he’s always here trolling for new suckers.

    Sad!

  38. Remember when the comments used to be constructive? Now it’s just a spambot and Knapp’s trolling.

  39. Taran Knapp, so you are suggesting basically a native American ICE should turn Europe into a giant CECOT and send all whites and those infected with there poison DNA and culture to there weather willingly or not? How long do you believe that this will take and how likely is it? What are the costs, risks, and benefits?

    I notice you wrote that in a European language. Should you set an example and lead the way by no longer using European languages or the European based technology you used to promulgate your pointy headed point?

    Is race war and mass deportation environmentally friendly?

    Is logical thinking another European import that must be renounced and sent back across the ocean or buried at sea?

  40. JA

    “… so you are suggesting basically a native American ICE should turn Europe into a giant CECOT and send all whites and those infected with there poison DNA and culture to there weather willingly or not?”

    Exactly. Let us make it so, as soon as possible.

    “How long do you believe that this will take and how likely is it?”

    5-50 years, 100% certain to happen through the science of socialism and natural law.

    “What are the costs, risks, and benefits?”

    The benefits – survival of Mother Earth and many living species, maybe even humanity – far outweigh any and all risks and costs, no matter how dire and steep.

  41. JA

    “I notice you wrote that in a European language. Should you set an example and lead the way by no longer using European languages or the European based technology you used to promulgate your pointy headed point?”

    The tools of the enemy occupiers must be used to defeat them until they are gone for good. No unilateral disarmament.

    “Is race war and mass deportation environmentally friendly?”

    Only when compared to the alternative of surrender. The latter means certain planetary extinction, certainly of humanity, and most likely of all more evolved multicellular species. With race war and mass deportation of European derived people and culture, our survival as a planet, species, people, etc is still far from assured, but at least possible.

  42. JA

    “Is logical thinking another European import that must be renounced and sent back across the ocean or buried at sea?”

    To some extent, yes. But not yet, to whatever degree it’s needed to defeat and expel the enemy occupiers.

  43. Will Thomas L. “Stop” Trolling-Knapp ever stop trolling?

    Also, do you all miss Joe Biden and Kamala Harris yet?

  44. Biden is probably eating ice cream while shitting his pants. Harris is in the middle of her second bottle of wine cackling about yellow school busses.

  45. Q,

    Before the European Virus reached our shores, we did not have capitalism. While we did not always live harmoniously worn nature, with each other, didn’t always share everything equally, didn’t always honor our women and those of two spirit’s, etc, we did all these things far better than since that virus infected our hemisphere.

    Race war, class war, religious war to duly destroy all Abrahamist religions, the struggles for gender equity and animal equality, and so on, are more properly understood as pieces of the same global intersectional revolution against all hierarchical forms of oppression.

    This builds upon Marxist foundations, native traditions, and the spiritual left hand path alike.

  46. Whitfield’s unique blend of lolbertarian dogma with that of North Korean Juche can really only benefit vote fraud, vote count fraud especially, communist demon rats, and ultimately Red China and Satan, also known as Lucifer, the creator of the evil “enlightenment”.

  47. Why do some people here keep calling communism Luciferian? Regardless of whether you believe the Bible or not, what it says was that Lucifer, the angel of light, could not stand to serve in heaven and prefers to rule in hell.

    He’s the father of individualism and egoism, selfishness and not being a team player. He can’t stand collectivism for the greater good and following orders. He puts himself first. He doesn’t really care who gets hurt as a result, unless it’s to take pleasure in it.

    That sounds like capitalism and Trump to me. What about you?

  48. Well I’m Donald Trump, the one they’re talking about, if you talk crap about me you’ll get punched in the mouth.

    If you disrespect me, forget about it, forget it. Best case for you is you’ll survive to regret it.

    I’m the Boss of all Bosses, King of all Kings. I bring the world hope, I’m why we have nice things.

    Last time I took human form, I got crucified. This time around, I won’t be so nice.

    If you think bad about me, stop trusting fake media. Go to conservapedia.com and read conservapedia.

  49. I don’t mind other guys playing ing with my trolls

    That’s fine, I know them all pretty well

    But I know sometimes I must get out and be White

    Better leave the troll behind with the kids, they’re alt right

  50. WHAT PERCENT OF ABOVE POSTS HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH WINGER POST ???

    IE DOZENS OF SPRING FEVER 0.666 IQ TROLL MORON POSTS BY THE USUAL SUSPECTS WITH MANY FAKE NAMES.

  51. I don’t have time today to look for more credible news sources, so this is from fake news axios of evil, because it was the first thing that popped up in a search …

    The key word: “intent.” It’s what opponents of DeSantis’ strategy will need to prove in a trial court if, or when, the legislature passes his map.

    ,,,

    DeSantis’ clock-management strategy is rooted in three factors:

    The “Purcell Principle” — Named after a 2006 U.S. Supreme Court case, this generally limits lower courts from overturning election laws too close to an election to avoid voter confusion.

    The Apex Doctrine and executive privilege — Because his employees are drafting the maps, DeSantis’ team is expected to argue in court that executive privilege shields them. His office argued that in a 2022 redistricting court challenge.

    In that case, top DeSantis officials involved in drafting those maps also fought to avoid depositions under the Apex Doctrine, which forces a plaintiff to first exhaust efforts to examine low-level employees before targeting high-level ones. That burns court time.

    Secrecy — DeSantis’ office is drafting the maps in such secrecy that plaintiffs could have trouble finding whom to depose and what records to look for. That would cause more delays.

    In 2022, DeSantis became the first Florida governor in recent history to submit his own congressional maps that were drafted out of the public eye. Normally, the maps are drawn by legislators, providing a record that court challengers could use draw from to prove intent.
    DeSantis’ process is so clandestine that Florida legislators who are to vote on the new maps Tuesday hadn’t seen them as of Thursday night.

    ….

    Meanwhile, DeSantis could still lose in the courts if he gets his plan through the legislature. He did, however, appoint six of the seven members of Florida’s Supreme Court.

    The governor has said he called for a special session on redistricting because of a pending U.S. Supreme Court ruling concerning minority seats and because of changes in Florida’s population.

    The governor has said he called for a special session on redistricting because of a pending U.S. Supreme Court ruling concerning minority seats and because of changes in Florida’s population.

    Florida has experienced 10 years’ worth of population growth in, like, three” years, DeSantis told the Florida Phoenix recently. “Our districts are not fairly apportioned.”

    For their part, many state legislators appear ready to rubber stamp DeSantis’ maps, get out of Tallahassee ASAP and wash their hands of the matter as it inevitably heads to court.

    If we get a map from the governor, we will vote it out and go home,” one lawmaker said. “It’s his map. We’re not getting deposed. His people are.”

  54. Check out the insane way that Trump could take back Virginia from the Democrats’ gerrymander if the courts don’t

    Davy Crockett @ not the bee
    Apr 24, 2026

    Y’all saw this week the successful* Democrat gerrymandering coup in Virginia:

    Thankfully, at least one court has ruled against the naked power grab, with the Virginia Supreme Court set to rule definitively at some point in the future:

    Yet in the meantime, former DOJ chief of staff Chad Mizelle writes at Fox News about a potential wild plan President Donald Trump could carry out to help right the ship:

    “Aside from motivating Virginia residents to oppose this power grab, Trump has another tool he can use to “fight back,” to borrow the supporters’ phrase. He could fight fire with fire and choose another type of re-Districting.”

    As Mizelle notes, in 1790 both Maryland and Virginia donated slices of land to create the then-new District of Columbia. The government used a significant portion of the Virginia tract to develop Washington, but the southwestern edge of the deeded land remained nominally Virginia as “Alexandria County.”

    After years of dithering, the Alexandria County region was “retroceded” to Virginia, in no small part because local pro-slavery Democrat leaders were worried that if the District outlawed slavery, it could affect major slave-trade operations in Alexandria itself.

    And it’s here, as Mizelle writes, that Trump could exercise a major executive feint:

    “President Trump could issue an executive order declaring the slavery-motivated retrocession unconstitutional, triggering certain legal action, and allowing the courts to finally weigh in on whether the county of Arlington and the city of Alexandria in fact properly belong to the District of Columbia. …

    As some of the deepest blue areas of the commonwealth – and the country – and loaded with federal government employees, residents of this region should feel right at home as part of D.C.”

    It’s true, by the way — Northern Virginia is a mega-mega-blue stronghold, regularly tipping the electoral scales in Virginia toward Democrat victories. Here’s the map for the 2024 election — and remember that Northern Virginia is very heavily populated, meaning those deep blue strongholds pack a major punch.

    As Mizelle notes, if Trump succeeds, it will “not only neutralize the president’s political opponents’ move to stack Congress against him” but also “most importantly, it will save a great number of red Virginians from having their votes canceled out by deep blue D.C.-adjacent liberals.”

    As people are fond of saying these days, you can just do things. But maybe the Virginia courts will take care of the problem and render the whole question moot.

    But if Trump does do it, most of Virginia is going to LOVE watching that blue wall go back into Washington!

    —-

    MDCSA: An added bonus is that the Alexandra and Arlington demon rats will not have full voting representation in Congress! It’s past time to take away DC’s home rule and electoral votes too!

  55. Doing this will be cancelled out by the communists making DC a state, which Richard Winger fully supports.

  56. That is either unconstitutional or it should be. It certainly goes against the whole point of creating D.C. to begin with.

  57. Liberator Trump ending slavery to DC would be loved by non-morons, but hated by troll morons and the nAZi-666 spambot they program to spam BAN emulates that hate preemptively.
