Especially given that Gillum Could Turn Florida Deep Blue by:

The Constitution calls for the redrawing of congressional districts every ten years. This will occur again in 2020.

The act of redistricting is important because voters elect their state representatives, state senators, and members of the U.S. House of Representatives from these newly drawn districts.

In Florida, both congressional and state legislative district lines are drawn by the state legislature. Congressional lines are adopted as regular legislation and are subject to gubernatorial veto. State legislative lines are passed via joint resolution and are not subject to gubernatorial veto. State legislative district maps are automatically submitted to the Florida Supreme Court for approval. In the event that the court rejects the lines, the legislature is given a second chance to draft a plan. If the legislature cannot approve a state legislative redistricting plan, the state attorney general must ask the state supreme court to draft a plan. There are no similar procedures in place for congressional districts.

The Florida Supreme Court recently ruled that the next governor of Florida will have the opportunity to appoint three new justices to the Florida Supreme Court. Republican Party of Florida chairman Blaise Ingoglia stated: “Andrew Gillum would appoint radical, activist justices who would legislate from the bench and work to eliminate school choice, erode pro-life principles and impose big-government ideology on our state.” A far-left court could also impact Florida’s district maps.

For example, if Democrats are unhappy with how the legislature draws the lines, they will likely contest the proposed drawings and file a lawsuit. Assuming that this happens, the case could end up in the Supreme Court, at which time the Democrats will submit their proposed districts to the far left-leaning court. These districts will likely favor a shift in the balance of power to the Democrats.

All the conservatives believing that even if Gillum is elected, controlling the state house and senate will block him, need to think again. Get out to vote and prevent this communist crook from getting elected. And by crook

FBI Corruption Probe of Gillum is More Serious Than Expected.

Yes, Arizona got redistricted in a horrible way by some RINOs. Lawsuits went on for a decade but the Deep State still won. That’s part of Arizona’s political problem.
