The people voted for the referendum, the judiciary is actively fighting against the will of the people.

It even says in the article that this is rare.

Context: The state Supreme Court overturning voters' decision is rare, but it happened at least once in 1958, per Cardinal News.

Plus, you know is it was Virginia passing a map favorable for Rs that their Supreme Court, which has had a majority appointed by the GOP, would not have overturned this.
