Those in VA who are in opposition to Amendment 1 are omitting one crucial piece of information: if the redistricting amendment on the ballot is defeated in November, Democrats will have total control of redistricting in 2021. They will gerrymander.
If you want Democrats to gerrymander in the upcoming redistricting process, just say so, sheesh! Stop being a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
By the way I agree with the statement that the amendment is not perfect. There’s an opportunity to pass better redistricting legislation for the redistricting cycle after this.

But the fact of the matter is, if the amendment doesn’t pass, there will be a Democrat gerrymander.
Now if that’s what you want, be honest about it. There’s nothing to be ashamed of — wanting revenge on Republicans for the gerrymanders they drew isn’t some sin, everyone wants and seeks revenge and also wants to ensure their party stays in power.
I don’t care if you are in opposition to the amendment, if you want to have Democrats gerrymander, just be honest about it. Don’t be disingenuous.
