Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Wednesday single-handedly wiped out the Democrats’ national gerrymandering advantage by proposing a map that eliminates constitutional infirmities.
Subject to the legislature’s approval and likely court challenges, the map will destroy all the hard work Democrats’ redistricting machine has created throughout the last months.

In before the trailer trash and eeyores who claim: “THIS DONZ MATTERZ.”
The morons who were commenting on a lie generated by a concern troll yesterday demonstrate that the vast majority of people never read beyond a headline or OP created commentary.
An Obama appointed judge will immediately find it unconstitutional and in violation of the Voting Rights Act. Eventually, the Supreme Court will decide it.
“I can't spare this man – he fights.”
The article references Eric Holder’s successful legal efforts to limit Republican gerrymandering nationally. What is the Republican effort to do the same? One state (Florida) is not the nation.
Great guv...hated by the right people.
“In before the trailer trash and eeyores who claim: ‘THIS DONZ MATTERZ.’”
Good call.
Wisconsin is doing a LOT behind the scenes to get ready for November 2022 and 2024.
We’ve added thousands of conservative Poll Workers as well as hundreds of Poll Watchers, are taking BACK School Boards by the dozens as witnessed in our Spring Election this month and have added 33+ Republicans in positions like Mayors, Sheriffs, and other locals since 2020.
We have a kick-butt, take names woman running for Governor and she’s got MORE than a good chance to take out Tony ‘One and Done’ Evers. She has Trump’s endorsement over the man running against her who has millions in ‘dark money’ behind him...from out of state, of course!
Yeah, I get frustrated too, but things ARE happening on the ground right here in, ‘The Belly of the Beast!’
The Supreme Court case law about changing a legislatively drawn map so close to an election.
They just decided this issue in other States in the emergency docket.
And many here think this political talent should fill the FABULOUS position of vice President.
I’d be hard pressed to think of a dumber strategy, and waste of political talent and achievement.
Read that far and was hoping for an "s" and a period.
I get your reasoning but l think it will take 12 years to fix this mess.
“Governor DeSantis’ map is constitutional and an act of political courage, fighting a half-century of gerrymandering,” he told Breitbart News. “Now we need real conservatives to fill these new seats.”
I hate gutless wormy cowards.
“Above all, be strong and very courageous.”
Joshua 1:7
Joshua, a strong courageous WARRIOR fought and did take the land. The other spys were all negative eyores.
There is an infestation of these vermin on FR. Threads like this are virtual ghost towns. Threads about how the GOP is doomed, and GOP is bad are full of the eeyores making their sky is falling doomer claims.
It's disgusting.
Thanks Diana for the good news, I’m glad the tide is turning in Wisconsin.
And don’t forget the one’s who are insisting “everything is rigged anyway, so why even try?”. The Sore Loserman wing of the Republican Party.
Yep. Regurgitate known Loon Wood lies and do everything to depress the turnout on the right.
The article fails to mention why DeSantis had serious reservations about the legislature’s map. It was because he and the attorney general were of the opinion it violated the U.S. 14th amendment. The legislature was drawing the new maps based on the Florida constitution. DeSantis rightly believed doing so without consideration of the 14th amendment was wrong.
I am not idiot girl but I play one on the internet. The article does mention it. For some reason scroll was not my friend today.
I am of the opinion that states should adopt a process / formula based approach to designing districts.
