“Millions of Virginians voted in an election,” wrote the judge in the order. "It is in the public interests to allow the amendment to take effect."

    Yes, but needed in this case. “Declines to block” is very different from “approves” even if the end result is the same.

      Yea, this is short form for “declines Republican’s bid to block”, so technically it might not even be a double negative.

      My complaint was about the wording in the HEADLINE. It lacks Feng shui.

      Anyone can read the “properly written” story…inside.
