Donald Trump Demands Courts ‘Fix' Virginia's New Congressional Map

President Donald Trump on Wednesday urged courts to intervene in Virginia's newly adopted congressional map, saying that a referendum backing the plan was deceptive and produced a "rigged" outcome.

In a statement posted on Truth Social, Trump alleged the ballot language was intentionally confusing and criticized the use of mail-in ballots as Democrats secured a narrow statewide victory.

The president posted, “A RIGGED ELECTION TOOK PLACE LAST NIGHT IN THE GREAT COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA! All day long Republicans were winning, the Spirit was unbelievable, until the very end when, of course, there was a massive "Mail In Ballot Drop!" Where have I heard that before - And the Democrats eked out another Crooked Victory! Six to five goes to ten to one, and yet the Presidential Election in November was very close to a 50-50 split. In addition to everything else, the language on the Referendum was purposefully unintelligible and deceptive. As everyone knows, I am an extraordinarily brilliant person, and even I had no idea what the hell they were talking about in the Referendum, and neither do they! Let's see if the Courts will fix this travesty of ‘Justice.’ President DONALD J. TRUMP”
