Wow, Virginia Democrats just rolled out a surprise plan to do a mid-decade redistricting in Virginia

within the next six months to gain three Democratic seats in Congress in Virginia to further

Well, the MAGA Republican governor, who pretends not to be MAGA, Glenn Yonkin, back in May of

2024, called a special session in order to push through a budget when during a regular

session, the various houses in the Virginia,
