It says Democrats had their voter\/district map decision challenged and then appealed to delay the state Supreme Court\u2019s mandate, planning to take the matter to the U.S.Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p>However, the piece claims that even though the petition was run through spell check, the office forgot to fully update a template. As an inevitable result, the document allegedly still refers to an \u201cemergency request to the Supreme Court of Virginia,\u201d wich the author presents as an improper\/incorrect labeling for a filing intended for the U.S. Supreme court. The article also notes that the Supreme Court issue is treated as a state matter, and criticizes the filing as rushed, pointing out that other context and paperwork appear inconsistent as well. It further includes commentary and examples from <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >social media posts highlighting<\/a> the same alleged template mistake.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The folks who brought you the inadvertent hilarity of \u201cVirgnia\u201d and \u201csentator\u201d would like to make amends by letting you know they can make mistakes in important legal filings that don\u2019t involve misspellings.<\/p>\n<p>In an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States seeking to overturn his state\u2019s Supreme Court ruling a new voter map unconstitutional, Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones\u2019 office \u2014 which was much criticized for several key misspellings in a similar document last week \u2014 ran this one through spell check, but forgot to change the template.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, it still reads that it is an \u201cemergency application to the Supreme Court of Virginia.\u201d Geniuses, ladies and gentlemen! Geniuses!<\/p>\n<p>So, catching you up with this story: Last week, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/breaking-virginia-supreme-court-strikes-democrats-gerrymander-midterm-game-changer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Virginia\u2019s state Supreme Court<\/a> ruled that Democrats effectively violated the state constitution by ramming through a law at the last minute to gerrymander the commonwealth\u2019s U.S. House seats from a 6-5 Democrat advantage to a 10-1 Democrat advantage.<\/p>\n<p>The independent redistricting commission that drew up the state\u2019s map is constitutionally mandated in Virginia \u2014 and, like all amendments to the constitution there, the General Assembly must first approve it before a general election for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/judge-rules-ca-gov-overstepped-his-authority-with-covid-order-issues-permanent-injunction-restraining-newsom-from-further-issuing-unconstitutional-orders\/\" title=\"Judge Rules CA Gov Overstepped His Authority with Covid Order, Issues Permanent Injunction Restraining Newsom From Further Issuing Unconstitutional Orders\">state legislature<\/a>; then it must undergo a referendum, and then the General Assembly must approve it again.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is that, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/opinion\/virginia-gerrymander-map-loses-supreme-court-5e6be56c?mod=trending_now_opn_4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Wall Street Journal\u2019s<\/a> editorial board pointed out, the Democrats didn\u2019t want the court to rule on it until after the referendum in April, which passed barely after a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/va-supreme-court-rules-redistricting-map-illegal-look-much-cash-strapped-dnc-spent-pass-nullified-gerrymander\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">not-inconsiderable amount of resources were poured into it<\/a>, and seemed to be \u201cbetting that if the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/jim-jordan-praises-rittenhouse-jury-a-win-for-america-and-for-our-great-system\/\" title=\"Jim Jordan Praises Rittenhouse Jury: A \u2018Win For America And For Our Great System\u2019\">amendment won<\/a> at the ballot box, the court would flinch at countermanding the will of the people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They did not flinch, noting that the late first passage of the proposed amendment by the General Assembly on Oct. 31, 2025, meant that roughly 40 percent of the ballots for the \u201cintervening election\u201d that\u2019s supposed to occur between the passage of the bill and the referendum being held had already been cast. Judge D. Arthur Kelsey wrote for the majority that this last-minute amendment \u201cappears to be wholly unprecedented,\u201d and it was struck down by a 4-3 margin.<\/p>\n<p>The offices of Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones \u2014 formerly best known <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/virginians-elect-jay-jones-ag-fantasized-murdering-republicans-children\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">as the child-murder fantasist<\/a> that Democrat Gov.
