I got a GOP dirty trick in the mail on redistricting using President Obama's image to say no on April 21st.

That was probably meant to confuse blue voters.

Virginia: early voting for the redistricting amendment is happening now through April 18.

Protect your voting power and help level the playing field ahead of the midterm elections by voting YES today or on Election Day, April 21.

I also saw some crap on social media, I guess on YouTube, but I don't recall for sure.

In this house we don't fall for that bullshit and have already voted YES.

I filled out my mail-in ballot the wrong way! Because of the flyers I’d got in the mail. Then I saw the stories about the misleading ads and flyers.
So I had to throw the vote away. Even if I could use whiteout to change it I couldn’t open the envelope without ripping it anyway, I tried.
Now I’ll need to vote in person.

>>>>>> “The Justice for Democracy PAC is a Virginia-based, Republican-aligned committee active in early 2026, largely funded by dark money to oppose a state redistricting referendum. Led by former GOP Delegate A.C. Cordoza, it has received $2.5 million from a group linked to tech billionaire Peter Thiel. The PAC is known for sending controversial mailers comparing redistricting efforts to Jim Crow-era voter restrictions.”
