-----------------
This guy absolutely is a GOP lawyer, and he did most of the work on the florida redistricting for DeSantis.
Records obtained by American Oversight and cited by ProPublica include an email from Jan. 5 inviting top officials in DeSantis’ office to join a “Florida Redistricting Kick-off Call” with out-of-state operatives who, as reported by ProPublica, “had also been working with states across the country to help the Republican Party create a favorable election map.”
The invitation was sent to DeSantis’ deputy chief of staff, Alex Kelly, and two other aides, as well as Jason Torchinsky, a Republican election attorney and redistricting strategist, and strategist Thomas Bryan.
Torchinsky, a partner at a conservative law firm, has according to ProPublica represented the Republican National Committee, the Florida GOP, and several right-wing groups, such as the Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity. Invoices ProPublica obtained from the Florida Department of State show that Torchinsky spent more than 100 hours working for the DeSantis administration on redistricting, with his role appearing “to have been intimate and extensive.”
