“This violation irreparably undermines the integrity of the resulting referendum vote and renders it null and void. For this reason, the congressional district maps issued by this Court in 2021 pursuant to Article II, Section 6-A of the Constitution of Virginia remain the governing maps for the upcoming 2026 congressional elections.”

The FBI is raiding the office of Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore L. Louise Lucas in Portsmouth, Virginia, according to Fox News. Fox was conveniently on the scene. Lucas, 82, is widely seen as the mastermind behind Democrats’ redistricting push in Virginia and has long been one of the most powerful figures in Virginia politics and a close ally of Governor Abigail Spanberger.

Making DC Square Again is a serious proposal. Trump should issue the Executive Order proposed here immediately. This move would shift VA back to a true battleground state by moving ~400,000 primarily Democrat citizens into DC, destroy the 8th congressional district, and force a redistricting crisis in VA that would benefit Republicans. The way this is done is by undoing the unconstitutional retrocession of DC territory to Virginia in 1846. RetroRetrocession as I call it. There are two key arguments that support this move. A - Just as a state cannot unilaterally secede, Congress cannot unilaterally dismantle the constitutional seat of government once it has been accepted per the Constitution. B - Even if we accept the constitutionality of retrocession, the conditions were never met for the 1846 retrocession act to come into force. That act required the "assent of the people of the county AND town of Alexandria". The town voted for retrocession but the county voted against. Because the condition precedent of true, unified assent was never met, the Act of 1846 never legally entered into force.
