Scott Jennings: A Lot of Republicans Believe Virginia’s Redistricting Vote Was Rigged; ‘A Violation of the Virginia Constitution’

‘Even though the Democrats won the race last night, this may not be over’

EXCERPT:

JENNINGS: “Well, I do think we would have benefited from more spending early on. I think the ‘yes’ campaign got out to a fast start. I mean, if you followed the race closely, the ‘no’ people had momentum at the end, and maybe another week or two, they might have caught them. It was about a three-point race. Regarding the whole rigged conversation, I‘ll just say, I think a lot of people in Virginia Republican circles think it was rigged in this way, that the referendum itself is a violation of the Virginia Constitution. I spoke to former Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli on my radio show just a few minutes ago. He thinks the Virginia Supreme Court may well throw this out because they violated the calendar rules that are in the Virginia Constitution, among other arguments. And so, even though the Democrats won the race last night, this may not be over if the Virginia Supreme Court were to toss it, maybe as soon as May.”
