    Let me explain what just happened in Virginia. Yesterday, 2.5 million Virginians voted. They passed a redistricting amendment 50.7% to 49.3%. Today, one judge threw out every single vote. 🧵

    Republican-appointed judge in Tazewell County. Before he was a judge, he ran for office as a Republican candidate. He has now ruled against this same amendment three separate times. The Virginia Supreme Court has overruled him twice. Today he called the vote "void from the start."

    Every Virginian who showed up yesterday. Every vote counted. Every ballot cast. One judge erased all of it. This is what it looks like when democracy does not go their way.

    Attorney General Jay Jones said he will appeal. He put it plainly: "Virginia voters have spoken, and an activist judge should not have veto power over the people's vote." But here is the part I want you to sit with.

    They are not hiding what they are willing to do. A judge threw out 2.5 million votes because his side lost a 3-point election. In one ruling. One day later. This is April. The midterms are in November.

    If this is what they do in Virginia over a redistricting vote, what do you think they will do in November when control of Congress is on the line? Watch what they are showing you right now. This is the playbook. They will take your vote the second it does not go their way. Take note. Never stop connecting the dots.
