Victory! Thanks to huge outrage from Virginia voters, the bill to rig elections was defeated in committee. By stopping this law, we sent a clear message to other states that voters will not stand for rigged elections.
Unfortunately, that bill isn't the only challenge to voter freedom in Virginia. Today, the House of Delegates will vote on a redistricting plan heavily favoring Republicans that went through without warning, without public comment, and almost without debate.
You defeated rigged elections and you can defeat this too. Click here to call Governor McDonnell and your delegate.
While Democratic state Senator Henry L. Marsh III attended the inauguration, Senate Republicans rammed through a new redistricting plan that strengthens their districts and weakens many held by Democrats. It was a clear power grab that took advantage of Sen. Marsh's absence to pass the bill along party lines.
Can you call Governor McDonnell and your delegate? Click here and tell them to stand against this unconstitutional bill.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
