Democrats thought they sealed victory in the midterm election.
But Democrats were popping the champagne corks too soon.
And Democrats tried to rig the 2026 election. A judge just threw their scheme in the trash.
Democrats schemed to swipe control of the House of Representatives by fixing the election before a single vote was cast.
In Virginia, Democrats rammed through a ballot referendum that eliminated four Republican-held House seats and redrew the commonwealth’s Congressional map to a 10-1 Democrat seat advantage.
Kamala Harris only won Virginia by six points, and this referendum eked through 51 to 49 percent, but Democrats will not command 91 percent of Virginia’s House seats.
Democrats erasing four GOP seats and switching them to Democrat control also provides the margin Democrats need to reclaim the majority in the House of Representatives.
This fight isn’t over yet, however.
Virginia Circuit Court Judge Jack Hurley issued a ruling blocking the map from taking effect after the Republican National Committee sued.
Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones, who fantasized in text messages about murdering leading Republicans and watching their children die, promised a swift appeal to Virginia’s Supreme Court.
“The Tazewell Circuit Court just ruled the referendum unconstitutional. The Judge entered an injunction blocking certification of the election & denied a motion to stay pending appeal. A final order will be entered once drafted, & it will be immediately appealed,” a statement from Jones read.
Former Virginia Attorney General and current head of the American Principles Project Election Transparency Initiative, Ken Cuccinelli, told CNN commentator Scott Jennings that Virginia Democrats violated the state constitution by deploying an illegal scheme to put the ballot referendum before voters.
“Virginia has a process to amend its constitution that has the General Assembly pass a proposed amendment and then have a state election — an intervening election — where the new House of Delegates is elected and so forth. And then that new General Assembly comes back and has to pass the same amendment,” Cuccinelli began.
“The General Assembly passed the amendment for the first time — called first passage, very creative — on Halloween. Well, these same Democrats, five years ago, gave us a 45-day election. So, voting began on September 19 of 2025. Over a million people had already voted before the first passage, and they want to treat that election as the intervening election. They’re going to have a very difficult time with that,” Jones added.
Conservatives contend that the law is against Democrats in this redistricting case.
But conservatives also know that hasn’t stopped judges in blue states from handing Democrats victory.
