Wow, Virginia Democrats just rolled out a surprise plan to do a mid-decade redistricting in Virginia within the next six months to gain three Democratic seats in Congress in Virginia to further check MAGA Republicans' effort to rig the midterms this is in response of course to donald trump's efforts across the country to do mid-decade gerrymandering redistricting which we saw in texas and donald trump is bringing to many other states we saw that in california democratic governor gavin newsom put on the ballot prop 50 for voters to decide if there will be a mid decade redistricting in california which would pick up a number of seats for democrats in california to check what's going on in texas but virginia democrats have figured out a path forward there now whereas in california it required just one kind of special session and meeting of the legislature to take place and then to put it on the ballot in virginia requires a constitutional amendment it requires a vote from the people of virginia
But it requires two meetings to take place of the legislature, and one would have to take place immediately. That means a special session in Virginia's legislature would have to be called. Now, while Democrats control both the House and the Senate, they control the House of Delegates 51 to 49. and the Senate 21 to 19. But to call a special session, you would require two thirds of the members in each chamber of the legislature to agree to hold a special session. Now, Democrats don't control two thirds. So how are they going to be able to call a special session? Well, The MAGA Republican governor, who pretends not to be MAGA, Glenn Youngkin, back in May of 2024, called a special session in order to push through a budget when during a regular session, the various houses in Virginia's legislature could not agree to a budget.
But what happened was Glenn Youngkin, forgot to adjourn the special session for May 2024. So because they never gaveled out and formally closed the special session, the Democrats realized there was a procedural error made by Youngkin and we're still technically in a special session. So let's convene immediately. Let's take the first of the two votes that are needed to do this mid-decade redistricting. All we need then is a majority in the House and the Senate to which Democrats control. But all Democrats in the House and the Senate need to vote in favor of this mid-decade redistricting. Then you have the elections taking place on November 4th, right? And then... The governor, as of now, seems that Abigail Spanberger is going to become the governor, which would be part, I guess, of the overall plan if this takes place.
