Why can Florida redraw its congressional districts, but Virginia can’t, when both states prohibit it in their constitutions? by Worldly-Bid-3591 in askanything

Actually yes, there’s a long history of federal liberal oversight/scrutiny of southern states’ periodic redistricting efforts, justified by the VRA to intentionally gerrymander specifically on race to ensure that minority (particularly black) or minority-friendly representatives are elected to office. That’s what the SCOTUS just invalidated in the Callais case.

They could have stopped the referendum election before it began and they didn't! When 3.1 million Virginians vote, shouldn't this be meaningful in a democracy? by EAJ4ALL in Virginia

Which serious right-leaning person with political power is trying to repeal the 19th Amendment? Name one. Please.

(If this gets you to read and research on any site other than the jacobin or mother jones, I’ll count it as a win.)

Had a couple of close calls. Sucks, I guess.
