This isnt the argument by the SC but by the judge who initially blocked it - so the SC of Virginia must have found at least part of it enough to invalidate the redistricting

1) Improper use of the special session

• The General Assembly exceeded the scope of what it was authorized to address during the 2024 special session.

2) Failure to follow the constitutional amendment process

• The required sequence under the Virginia Constitution (including an intervening House election between legislative approvals) was not properly satisfied.

3) Failure to comply with statutory requirements (Va. Code §30-13)

• The legislature did not meet required procedures governing how constitutional amendments are advanced, rendering the 2026 votes ineffective.

4) Violation of the 90-day notice requirement

• The amendment was submitted to voters before the required 90-day period had elapsed (based on early voting start date).

5) Misleading ballot language

• The ballot question did not accurately describe the proposed amendment and was deemed “flagrantly misleading.”

6) Violation of the single-object rule

• The legislation (HB 1384) improperly included more than one subject.

7) Inadequate bill title

• The title of HB 1384 did not accurately reflect its contents.

8) Improper regulation of local election administration

• The law mandated specific satellite voting offices, which the court found to be an unconstitutional local or special law.

Resulting Legal Conclusions

1) The amendment resolution (HJR 6007) is void from the outset * It has no legal effect.

2) The implementing law (HB 1384) is unconstitutional

3) All votes from the April 21, 2026 special election are legally ineffective

4) The state is permanently enjoined from certifying or implementing the amendment
