Hey, welcome back. So that Virginia decision nullifies the advantages.

They would have picked up four more seats in Virginia, the Democrats, and it's nullified now.

And I think that's the last play, the Virginia Supreme Court.

So, and I think the Supreme Court in Florida has already indicated they're going to uphold that.

So they say a net. Prior to this, the net was as-hit game for republicans i'm going to figure out

that this could be another four gad sad joins us now unrelated best-selling author professor of
