Virginia Supreme Court Voids Virginia Gerrymander

The article frames judicial action against partisan gerrymandering as a straightforward win for democratic reform, using the loaded term 'extreme' to describe the gerrymander while presenting the court's decision without attribution or debate. Reason's libertarian positioning centers the anti-partisan-manipulation angle rather than institutional separation-of-powers concerns, and the piece implicitly validates judicial intervention in redistricting—a position more aligned with reform-left discourse than strict libertarian deference to legislative prerogatives.
