PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT

BALLOT QUESTION
Question: Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to allow the General Assembly to temporarily adopt new congressional districts to restore fairness in the upcoming elections, while ensuring Virginia's standard redistricting process resumes for all future redistricting after the 2030 census?

"Restoring fairness" is a rather nebulous concept.
I'm sure the Oligarchs feel their fairness is threatened by the "unwashed masses".
The fairness for all the folks without sufficiently provable documentation are the ones that deserve the larger degree of fairness.
What AI slop wrote the language of the amendment?

In case anyone still thinks there isn't any nefariousness going on.
