Constitution of Virginia - Article 1, Section 3. Government instituted for common benefit
 

That government is, or ought to be, instituted for the common benefit, protection, and security of the people, nation, or community; of all the various modes and forms of government, that is best which is capable of producing the greatest degree of happiness and safety, and is most effectually secured against the danger of maladministration; and, whenever any government shall be found inadequate or contrary to these purposes, a majority of the community hath an indubitable, inalienable, and indefeasible right to reform, alter, or abolish it, in such manner as shall be judged most conducive to the public weal.

In plain language - VDH's policy, and contrived algorithm, violates the Constitution of Virginia, is a maladministration of government and is inadequate and contrary to the public weal.
