Virginia Judge Blocks Certification Of Tuesday's Election

Daily Caller— A Virginia judge has blocked the state from certifying the results of a special election on a redistricting referendum that could have enabled Democrats to gain four additional congressional seats. In a ruling issued Wednesday, Tazewell Circuit Court Judge Jack Hurtley said the process behind the referendum violated multiple state laws and that certifying the outcome would harm Republican lawmakers. If implemented, the measure could shift Virginia’s congressional delegation from a narrow 6–5 split to a 10–1 Democratic advantage.

Today's Holidays

Celebrate the weird stuff. We do.

Holiday #1 of 4

English Language Day

English Language Day is that annual moment when we all pretend the most chaotic, duct-taped-together language on Earth deserves a nice little ribbon and a respectful nod. It’s a celebration of English: the linguistic junk drawer where we keep three synonyms for “drunk,” fourteen ways to apologize without meaning it, and spelling rules that quit halfway through the job. People mark it by honoring writers, words, and communication, which is adorable considering most of our communication is just vibes, typos, and threats of “circling back.” So today we raise a glass to the language that conquered the world by tripping over its own shoelaces and calling it innovation.
