General Discussion

The change championed by referendum itself does not violate the VA constitution, it was that the required process was not followed (supposedly).

A proposed amendment must pass the general assembly twice, with an intervening election between the two.

The reasoning for striking it down is that since the first vote occurred during the VA early voting window had started already when the first vote was conducted, and that this means there had not been an entire intervening election in-between the two.

I get and acknowledge the technicality, but at the same time, saying that this 'incurably taints' the election seems like bullshit.
