“Republicans drew special districts to GIVE A DISTRICT TO AFRICAN AMERICAN VOTERS.
The liberal Florida Supreme court just nixed all of the districts.”
From the article cited: “The Florida Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the state legislature must redraw at least eight congressional districts, including the 5th, that had been gerrymandered to favor the GOP.”
Your comment above does not comport with what the article says. The Supreme Court did not nix all of the distrcts, just 8 of them.
The article does go on:
“The Florida Supreme Court took a wrecking ball to Florida’s political landscape Thursday,” wrote Miami Herald reporter Mary Ellen Klas.
“The new maps are likely to reconfigure nearly all of the state’s 27 congressional districts, open the door to new candidates, and threaten incumbents, who will now face a new set of boundary lines and constituents close to the 2016 election,” Klas wrote.
