Va. AG Jay Jones: We Won’t Have One Activist Judge Try to Offset the Will of the People on Redistricting

‘As attorney general, my job is to enforce the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia’

EXCERPT:

JONES: “You know, look, we are excited that Virginia went out to the polls on Tuesday, made their voices heard. Turnout was robust. Both sides engaged in a vigorous campaign, and the ‘yes’ side prevailed. And now, as Attorney General, my job is to enforce the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. And so, we won‘t let one activist judge in one county in Virginia try to offset the will of the people of this Commonwealth, where more than 1.6 million voted yes. And so, we will be in court very soon. My office appealed the decision, and we are going to get this resolved quickly so that we can bring some clarity to the situation.”
