Florida has GOP run statehouse

can a resident explain why they made his district harder for him

sometimes you have to make on Dem to keep more of the other’s GOP

like here in Nashville...Davidson county district will stay Democrat gerrymandered to keep the surrounding all GOP

??

I cannot speak to the specifics of his district. But . . .

In early 2010, seeing that they were going to lose big that November, the rat legislature got a constitutional amendment on the ballot that requires congressional districts to be drawn so as to neither help nor hurt any political party. The public fell for it.

It guarantees the matter of decennial redistricting will end up in the state courts. Our supreme court is 5-2 whack-job Marxist.

We also have the Voting Rights Act to deal with, which may have had something to do with it.

I hope someone with more info can inform both of us.

We also have to remember that any re-districting must face federal court approval and empower minorities.
