Huge win for the Republicans and gives them a huge boost to retain the House in 2026! They'll get a chance again later because I believe the crux of the ruling was the terms of why she called the special session, but it's yuge for now, especially with her popularity torpedoing in the state after she went from moderate to full progressive after the election.

I'm curious if it will pass again in the future using actual neutral language (as opposed to telling people that an affirmative vote would "restore fairness"), and after voters have seen the fallout from the first power grab.

It is almost as if the liberal democrats of VA wanted the ballot/vote to fail. A first year law student could have written a better ballot.

It their own fault. The Dems felt compelled to literally virtue signal within the language of the referendum itself, tainting it. They couldn't help themselves. The self righteous sanctimony amongst them is overpowering.

To be fair, they probably shouldn't have even been allowed to start it given it wasn't initiated properly and it barely passed with the biased language in it.

The way they initiated it was the crux of the SC overturning it. I didn't read the ruling, but not sure if they mentioned the language of the referendum in the ruling.

Also, just put a few hundred bucks on the Rs retaining Senate and House on Kalshi at 25%

Yeah, a great victory so that Republicans can continue to pass all the needed reforms in Congress.

Don't get me wrong but the Republicans have no idea how to handle power in Congress and while this is a victory avoiding a Democrat agenda, it is a hollow victory in what Republicans actually do with it.

It didn't hinge really on the wording, but on the definition of when the election started. It took one (of the 4) Dem-appointed justices agreeing it had to start when people were voting (duh). The others cosplayed word games around that.

Republicans need to get off their ass but it's way better than dem
Controlled.

Honestly if we can get to a spot where neither party can pass anything that would be great.

True. But republicans need to put judges on the bench. They aren't. I can only conclude they want liberal activist judges holding all the seats.

There have been cases challenging the wording in the past with mixed results. The language used has to be pretty outrageously misleading for that to be the sole reason for a court to strike it down.

Would the VA ballot language satisfy that requirement? Don't know because the VA state supreme court didn't need to get to that question. They had other legally solid reasons to strike it down and did.

Uh, she outright lied to Virginians, because she was never a "moderate". She just took off her mask immediately after being elected. Even smug about it.

And she's not progressive either. Raging Leftist Commie is more like it.

"Green" is the new RED.

The democrats potentially losing double digit house seats over this with nothing to show for it is a pretty big own goal.

Mike Johnson I think is better than Thune. Johnson has a very slim majority right now

Thune not getting Judges across the line is pathetic and not getting the Save Act passed is even more pathetic, that alone would win the Rs so many elections

How do we get someone else as the senate leader, Thune sucks ass

Soros, Singham, and tons of other ultra rich leftists who will pour however much they think it will take to win, and much of the $$$ is done illegally such as funneling "small" donations via ActBlue.

Thune is practically a traitor and should be removed.

Personally, I would stay away from Khalshi. It's just a massive betting site that calls them themself a "prediction model". That's bull***** It's betting.

If you don't bet, don't do it.

Question. Glad this thing failed. Is their a more fair
Way to decide districts. Each state should be more in line with the registered voters. Ie, the New England states are 45/55 and there are NO R representatives.

Would have to get retroactive rulings against what was done already.
