You don’t need to cheat to win.
Teachers instruct kids to study and prepare to do well on tests. In sports, the coach tells kids in order to win you need to practice hard and be mentally strong. The Girl Scout Law says, “I will do my best to be: Honest and fair.” Cheating used to be considered wrong but now redistricting is being justified and called “FAIR”. In politics, cheating is being called fair? This bullying is rationalized by saying, “they hit me first”.
Spanberger won the governor’s race by 15%. In 2025, The General Assembly House of Delegates picked up 13 Democrat seats. The April 21 special election to change the boundaries of Congressional districts in the name of “FAIR” elections, tells the electorate that it is permissible to cheat to win. This example of “FAIR” play will be used by future generations by children with parents; students with teachers; and players with coaches to reset community standards.
Democrats can win elections without providing coffee and donuts at early voting registrar’s offices.
Democrats can win elections without having national non-profits targeting black voters.
Democrats can win elections without an influx of out of state money.
Democrats can win in the current Congressional districts.
You don’t need to cheat to win.
