The Democrats were warned, by their very own lawyers and politicos, that the referendum was not in accordance with the Virginia constitution. At the same time, the Republicans were warning Spanberger, the Senate and the House that it was unconstitutional. Then a judge showed them exactly where it was wrong. Yet, they went ahead and squandered the $ Millions to try and enact an illegal referendum that would disenfranchise half of Virginia voters, all while proclaiming it was for "fairness" and "Trump".
Now the Democrats want to take it to the SCOTUS. Please do. But don't waste Virginia tax money. Use the DNC's money. After they get off the floor from laughing so hard, the justices will reject the suit because it's a plain case of the federal courts lack jurisdiction and the State Supreme Court has the final say. All of the cries of democracy and the vote are for naught, because we are a republic and obeying the constitution is a requirement, not a recommendation.
