Districts have been drawn to benefit blacks, and thus democrats, for years. It’s called Gerrymandering. Another way of saying Gerryrigged. Which was another way of saying...

Keep in mind that this also benefits Republicans and conservatives. By stuffing all the diversity voters into one or two strongly Dem districts, they end up creating 4-5 surrounding moderately-R districts that usually elect Republicans (whether conservative or not is another matter).

IIRC, this Florida redistricting map actually hurt Tea Partier/conservative candidates, so shooting it down might not be such a bad thing...?

The RINOs in the state already have achieved what they wanted. TEA party candidates like Allen West lost their seats. Needless to say, I have zero faith in the republican party in this state. All I can say is, one Mississippi, two Mississippi and probably many more Mississippi-like states around the country where the republicans are more interested in letting the libs win than winning with a conservative.
