John,  

She signed it.

This is the same Abigail Spanberger who said in 2019:

"Gerrymandering is detrimental to our democracy… Opposing gerrymandering should be a bipartisan policy."

The same Abigail Spanberger who VOTED for the constitutional amendment in 2020 to stop politicians from drawing their own maps.

The same Abigail Spanberger who said in August she had NO PLANS to redraw maps.

So what changed?

Has the principle changed — or did Speaker Don Scott and Senator Louise Lucas just apply enough pressure?

In 2020, 65% of Virginians — including the Governor and myself — voted to create an independent redistricting commission.

We did that to END gerrymandering.

She just tore that up.

After she signed it, Don Scott said: "Our work here is done."

Yeah. It is.

They forced a 10–1 gerrymander in a competitive state. They ignored the Constitution. They made fools out of Virginians who trusted them.

And she smiled the whole time.

Reopening the Constitution mid-decade sets a permanent precedent: that redistricting rules can be rewritten whenever one party is dissatisfied with electoral outcomes.

That is not reform. It is escalation.

If gerrymandering overrides the will of the people in other states, it overrides it in Virginia too.

But Governor Spanberger caved to extreme Democrats in Richmond.

Now the fight moves to the courts — and to 2026.

I'm not backing down. But I need you with me RIGHT NOW.

The Constitution is meant to restrain power — not be revised to expand it.

She had an opportunity to uphold the reform Virginians demanded.

She chose partisan politics instead.
