Democrats finish the Republicans' redistricting fight with a big win in Virginia, and both

Hakeem Jeffries and Mark Elias dig into the details of that fight.

I'm Brian Tyler Cohen, and you're listening to No Lie.

So I'm going to read a post from Trump that pretty much sums up nicely the aftermath of

the redistricting fight, culminating in Virginia voting in favor of a

redrawn map that will likely see 10 Democrats and one Republican in the congressional delegation.

So Trump wrote, a rigged election took place last night in the Great Commonwealth of Virginia.

All day long, Republicans were winning. The spirit was unbelievable until the very end,

when, of course, there was a massive mail-in ballot drop. Where have I heard that before?

And the Democrats eeked out another crooked victory.

Now, I have some thoughts here as somebody who has spent a lot of time advocating for redistricting.

I have long been an advocate for the dissolution of the independent redistricting commissions in California and New York, the big Democratic weapons,

given the fact that Republicans are wielding Texas and Florida as their own weapons.

And they, of course, have no independent redistricting commissions.

I hosted a live stream for Prop 50 in California.

We raised a million dollars toward that effort.

Hosted another live stream for Virginia last week.

You will not find a bigger champion for fighting fire with fire than me. So, with that said, here are my thoughts. First of all, I cannot tell you the extent to which I am unmoved by Republicans bitching and moaning about redrawing the maps when it was Trump who said this last summer. When you told Jerry, man, and we have an opportunity in Texas to pick up five seats, we have a really

good governor and we have good people in Texas.

And I won Texas.

I got the highest vote in the history of Texas, as you probably know, and we are entitled

to five more seats.
