Two Virginia Constitutional amendments will be on the ballot. They have passed the legislature twice and will become part of the Virginia Constitution if a majority of voters support them. We support voting “YES” on both amendments.
Proposed Constitutional Amendment #1 determines how Virginia will redraw General Assembly and Congressional Districts. It creates a redistricting commission, believed to be a more bi-partisan way of redistricting to reduce gerrymandering. Virginia will be redistricted after the 2020 Census is completed. Supporters argue that under the old way Virginia’s radical democrats who are in the throes of changing our state for the worse will redraw General Assembly and Congressional districts to increase their power.
Proposed Constitutional Amendment #2 specifies that a vehicle owned by a totally disabled veteran will not be taxed at either the local or state level. Please see https://www.elections.virginia.gov/proposed-constitutional-amendment-2020/ for details.
