Virginia voters narrowly approved a redistricting referendum overnight that hands Democrats the power to redraw congressional districts right before a major election. The Democrats’ victory was razor-thin (about 51.5% of the vote).

Democrats insist it’s just a temporary fix but critics might call it a convenient rewrite of the rules which everyone knows won’t stay temporary. The new map could turn a closely split 6–5 delegation into something closer to a 10–1 Democrat advantage. Supporters say it’s about “fairness.” Opponents say it’s about power.

And if you’re wondering how much this “fairness” cost – try about $100 million flooding into the campaign, much of it from groups that don’t disclose donors. For a party that never stops complaining about money in politics, Democrats seem perfectly comfortable with it when it works in their favor.

At the end of the day, it’s all about grabbing more power in the United States House of Representatives – because nothing says “fair and balanced” like redrawing the lines to box out Donald Trump – all while also happily padding the headcount with illegal aliens when it comes time to divvy up those seats.

The measure may have squeaked by voters, but don’t pop the champagne just yet. The Supreme Court of Virginia is waiting in the wings and could still slam the brakes. Justices already signaled they’ll take a hard look now that it passed, with critics arguing Democrats cut corners on the process and possibly dressed up the ballot language to make it more appealing.

There’s also the Florida Republicans who are eyeing their own redraw during a special legislative session – one that could net them up to five additional seats. If that happens, expect outrage from Democrats, who will likely cry foul…over a playbook they’ve already been running themselves.
