The Dems had already started gloating over the narrow election victory for redistricting Virginia when the first court filed an injunction to block the result.
The referendum has to run its course before the courts can intervene. But now that the votes have been counted, both sides are making their case in court.
While many Conservatives have low confidence about a Virginia court ruling in their favor, Ken Cuccinelli, who has served as AG for Virginia went on Scott Jennings’ show to make the case for why he thinks courts will strike it down for clear violations of Virginia’s constitution.
There are specific safeguards in place to prevent the kind of railroading of the public that we’ve seen in this redistricting case — which ran exactly opposite to the no-redistricting platform on which Spanberger actually campaigned. The safeguards of Virginia’s state constitution were NOT followed in this instance.
Here he is explaining in what way the safeguards were not followed and why he thinks the courts will strike down this referendum as constitutionally invalid.

For what it’s worth, the wording of the court injunction lines up pretty well with the language Cuccinelli used to make his case on the show:
