This is another integrity test for your woke friends who claim that Donald Trump is a threat to democracy.
Tomorrow, Virginians (like me) will go to polling places to decide whether to vote for a “proposed constitutional amendment.” Note that the proposed amendment isn’t included on the ballot. This is because Democrats, who dominate the state government cheat. There is no other way to explain this.
Constitutional amendments, which must be approved by Virginia voters, have to be on the ballot with a full explanation of the amendment available to the public at least 90 days before the election. Virginia Code 30-19.9 provides,
“The explanation shall contain the ballot question, the full text of the proposed constitutional amendment, and a statement of not more than 500 words on the proposed amendment. The explanation shall be presented in plain English, shall be limited to a neutral explanation, which may include a brief statement on the effect of a “yes” and “no” vote on the question but shall not include arguments submitted by either proponents or opponents of the proposal.”
How has it been “made available”? I don’t know: I hadn’t seen it, and I’m fairly informed on such matters. Maybe it was in something I thought was junk mail. Maybe Democrats think posting something on a website nobody is likely to visit is sufficient advance notice. The alleged required explanation of the current proposed amendment is here. In addition to the deceitful and misleading language on the ballot above, we see:

I think we are witnessing the hidden undercurrent agenda of the political left’s soft coup coming into the light of day. The left’s lust for ultimate power is going to rip the shit out of the nation.
I am really disturbed by the number of people who claim that Gov. Spanberger campaigned as a moderate Democrat and somehow morphed into a left-wing extremist. What is a ‘moderate’ Democrat these days? When RFK Jr. is considered a right-wing extremists, where does that put those to the left of him? The fact that so many people you know support everything she had done reveals the truth. Spanberger IS a moderate Democrat. These policies are the policies of mainstream Democrats today and are at least acceptable to the majority of Democrats. That is the opposite of extreme. If she were truly extreme, the people you are discussing would be disturbed by her actions.
There are a lot of conservatives concerned by President Trump’s actions on Iran, so it isn’t like people blindly agree with everything their elected representatives say or do. Lots of people in my state are upset with Sen Lankford and feel he is an embarrassment after his begging for mercy after Jan 6 and siding with Democrats on lots of bills that almost all conservatives oppose. So, Lankford is more of an extremist Republican than Spanberger is an extremist Democrat.
Jack, do you know much about Nick Freitas, who was a Green Beret who served some time in the Virginian legislature? I had some of his YouTube videos show at one point, and I started listening to him (mainly because he has a snarky way of rebutting liberal talking points). He’s been chronicling the Spanberger administration and the slew of left-favoring bills progressing through the state legislature. It is frightening how far the Left is pushing with their agenda.
What also worries me is that liberals have a very good track record of sneaking these initiatives through on special elections, midterm ballots, and whatnot. The amendment to the Ohio constitution to enshrine abortion as law succeeded in part because the conservatives didn’t show up to vote, and in part because the liberals did. I fear this will happen in Virginia with this redistricting plan.
Does it seem like there is a basis to challenge this ballot on procedural grounds?
Yes, but as usual Republicans were asleep at the switch. I don’t know if the election can be challenged after the fact, but the ballot is undeniably misleading.
