It’s gonna pass because the asshole is the perfect reverse barometer. Simple, no?

President Trump made a last-minute pitch to Virginians on Monday evening, urging voters to reject a redistricting ballot measure that could give Democrats as many as four pickup opportunities in the House this November.

“This referendum is a blatant partisan power grab that nobody’s really ever seen anything like it,” Trump said on a telerally call with Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) one day before the Virginia referendum.

UPDATE: The "yes" vote just took the lead with the Republican areas in and more votes coming from Democratic areas.

UPDATE: MSNOW and NBC have called it for YES. Go team!
