Democrats will obviously IMMEDIATELY appeal this, and it will likely make its way up to the VA Supreme Court… pic.twitter.com/kIZSkaKRri

On Tuesday, Virginia voters approved a new congressional map that heavily favors Democrats, transforming a closely divided state into one projected to send 10 Democrats and just one Republican to Congress, one of the most aggressive examples of gerrymandering in recent years.

Many held the vote as an example that 51 percent of voters have a significant amount of control over 49 percent of voters, a chief reason our Founding Fathers favored a mix of Democratic and Republican principles, as opposed to strict Democracy.

It is also a reason the left loves making everything more Democratic.

Virginians will decide tomorrow whether to change the state’s congressional map from the plan on the left to the plan on the right.

The case is expected to advance to the state’s Supreme Court, where many observers believe the map will ultimately be struck down, a potential win for both democratic principles and Republican challengers.
