Yeah.

I can read, for people who don't know, obviously, this got big press, has redistricting wars ramp up ahead of the midterms.

Democrats are facing some major setbacks.

The Virginia Supreme Court just struck down a voter approved map that could have netted the Democrats up to four House seats.

It's not over yet.

We'll see.

It's going to go to the Supreme Court.

But the Supreme Court, of course, did its business by weakening the Voter Rights Act in recent rulings, setting off redistricting pushes in several southern states.

Republicans could now have around 15 new winnable districts, but Trump's approval ratings are still a massive hurdle.

As one Democratic strategist put it, Trump has the power to rig the maps, but he doesn't have the power to get his approval rating higher.

It could slap back at them.

It's really interesting.

One of the long shot options reportedly tossed around in Virginia, lower the mandatory retirement age for the state Supreme Court and replace the entire bench rating.

I think there's a bunch of things they may have to do, but what's a real shame is that now the Democrats are going to have to gerrymander their states, which is not good for any, none of this is any good to be breaking this precedent of 10 years following the census to do this, what is essentially stealing democracy.

When you look at the map in Tennessee, it's insane.

People are 210 miles away from other voters, which is crazy.

It's crazy.

It's a crazy map, and it's all done to retain power, which I think they won't actually doing this.

I think people are offended by having their votes stolen from them.

Although I have to say, Newsom got the job done in California.
