Is Florida one of those states where the Feds. do this instead of the State Legislators under the Voting Rights Act?

Well, the thing is, the GOP majority can draw the lines, they just don’t have final say. Fact is, the Democrats tend to have a much freer hand in drawing incumbent protection districts, since nearly all of these non-White districts are Democrat. I loathe these mandated districts, because I reside in a non-federal State Senate district drawn to elect a Black member, and as a non-Black, I have no representation because the Justice Dept. says, “If you’re not (fill-in-the-blank-non-White), you don’t count.” Where are my “voting/civil rights” ?
