The regime fought a brutal 8 year war against Saddam
He bombed Iranian cities, sent his armies, and even used chemical weapons
That war is part of the regime’s core ideology
Difficult to imagine they would just give up
As much as I’d like to see them go
Tomorrow is start of early voting for VA redistricting referendum
Don’t think will reach 2025 levels of early voting which had 33K first day
Probably get more than 2023 state elections first day of 12K
Expect lots of over analysis, but will give a sense of potential turnout
Imagine the conversation will go something like this

It worked

Wish Virginia Supreme Court would have cited Doja Cat’s Paint the Town Red
The GOP’s “illness don’t come with no remedy”
(At least for now)
Virginia Supreme Court explicitly says if referendum is voted down, case is moot
If it passes, then will make the final judgment
Opinion seems like court was thorn about whether to rule now or later
But Dems will take it and live to fight another day

Democrats are celebrating this ruling
But it is very procedural in nature
Virginia Supreme Court says “these issues are of grave concern to the Court”
Just won’t stop vote
Could just mean they will take their time to decide final issue
But the case is far from over…
We finally got a Virginia Supreme Court ruling!
Confirmation redistricting referendum is happening
Early voting starts this Friday
Essentially a shadow docket ruling and not on final merits
But highest court in Virginia will let voters go to the polls
A lawsuit has been filed to try to stop Virginia's proposed reproductive rights constitutional amendment from making it to statewide ballots later this year.

All indications are early voting will start as expected on Friday for redistricting referendum
Only thing that could stop it is explicit order from Virginia Supreme Court not to do so
Complicated in Tazewell county due to local judge’s order
Hearing going on today there

Good article about state of early voting in Tazewell
It is supposed to start Friday and absentee ballots usually would be mailed
But local court issued an injunction to prevent the Redistricting referendum
And the Virginia Supreme Court has not given any updates

Rise in oil prices and drop in stock market will get Trump’s attention
