If you look at the DeSantis Map it’s actually less gerrymandered than the previous map.
The previous map has at least 1 district in North Florida that guaranteed an African American would win, it had been Corrine Brown until she went to prison for corruption, then Al Lawson took over, until now, the new map follows the Florida Constitution for being compact.
Here’s a link to an article that shows the new map.
I remember Corinne Brown’s gerrymandered district, and the new map looks quite good. Do you think it will get rid of the rodeo clown with the cowboy hat?
The map in the article you attached is very similar to but not the final DeSantis map (which appears at the very bottom of the original article). I think there are some changes in central Florida, and my new district in north Florida will now be called the third, in line with its neighbors, instead of the 11th. I agree with your article that it’s an excellent map in the regular and compact shapes of the districts. Hopefully that will overcome gerrymandering allegations.
