Republicans could be poised for massive gains in the state of Florida thanks to the upcoming redistricting process that the GOP is set to control in the state.

“FLORIDA: if you thought things couldn't get worse for Dems...it can. FL could be the GOP's biggest redistricting weapon of 2021,” Cook Political Report editor Dave Wasserman said on Twitter. “FL is poised to gain two seats.

Somehow I can’t really see how things are getting worse for Dems?

I’m sure California will gerrymander the GOP out of existence as well so the gains may be offset. And that’s not even accounting for the lawsuits.

The Rats were all but reduced to a municipal party in 2016. They learned that Election Theft is where it’s at and here we are.

I think that the GOP has a decent shot at retaking the House in ‘22, and it’s great that Florida is such a MAGA mecca. But without serious efforts to crack down on Dem voter fraud in the rest of the country, we’re screwed.

Hopefully one new district includes St. Johns County (Saint Augustine) so we can get rid of the useless and Lizard Cheney supporting John Rutherford. He’s the former Sheriff of Jacksonville, FL and coasts to victory on that fact. Our Rep previously was DeSantis. Talk about going from the penthouse to the outhouse. Ha ha.

Yep, yessiree, the GOPee is gonna winit all any day now. Just keep votin’ for the party of quisling traitors like a good perennial sucker. Mmm hmm.

What about the Census? Did CA, IL and NY suffer population declines (or simply failure to tabulate residence due to Covid)? Did these states lose seats?

This is a really neat to tool to see how districts can be gerrymandered to alter the outcomes.

Given the state of data science, we've certainly reached the point that our politicians can pick the represented, instead of the other way around.

Needs to be addressed of course. State legislatures need to step up. People need to get active.

I never wanted these kinds of machine counting or machine voting. I have said for a long time that votes should be counted in the precinct/office in which they are cast, in full view of the voters, and posted on the door. They can be counted using analog or analog style “scantron” devices. No internet required. For my decades of voting we have never had electronic ballots it was always the “butterfly” ballots and a dauber pen, just like those old high school tests. Easy to vote, easy to count. I vote in a school auditorium. There is no reason they can’t be counted in full view of the public there are 100’s if not 1000’s of seats there. Cameras are also cheap and easy to deploy.

Isn’t California losing a district anyway with everyone moving? I’m pretty sure New York is losing one also.
