Florida court allows use of new US House districts drawn by Republicans for midterm elections

The Florida Supreme Court has allowed new U.S. House districts drawn by Republicans to be used in the midterm elections, marking another victory for the GOP in a nationwide redistricting effort aimed at helping the party retain its slim House majority.

The court on Wednesday refused a request to issue a temporary injunction against the new districts. Attorneys for voters who sued argued that the new House districts violate a state constitutional provision prohibiting partisan gerrymandering, and that the court should order the state to continue using the same districts as in the previous election.

Republicans already hold 20 of Florida’s 28 U.S. House seats. The new voting districts signed into law by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis after a swift two-day special legislative session could improve the GOP’s chances to win four additional seats this year.

Opponents had cited a 2010 voter-approved amendment prohibiting congressional districts intended to favor or disfavor a political party or incumbents

Thank you very much and God bless you.

A win for DeSantis and conservatives. You have to admit, DeSantis and the Florida legislature moved fast! Unlike Indiana whose GOP representatives immediately surrendered and then lost their seats in the primary.

“DeSantis is a sleeper for 2028.”


Yes, he is.

Conservatives actually have a deep bench when it comes to possible Presidential candidates. DeSantis, Vance, Rubio, and more. The trick is going to be keeping GOPe candidates out of the mix. We don’t need a Bush, Pence, or Brian Kemp type.

Who do Democrats have? Newman, AOC, and Buttigegg?

I can’t believe that she spent four years a heart-beat away from the nuclear button, a lush, an airhead and a wh*re. I would unremember it if I could.

“....could improve the GOP’s chances to win four additional seats this year.”

A very good way of phrasing it.

Actually it DOES (not “could”) improve the GOP’s chances at picking up some House seats, but stops well short — as it should — of *guaranteeing* a pickup of 4 House seats, because that damn well is NOT guaranteed.

+1 or +2 (CD-9 and CD-22) is fairly easily doable. CD-14 is a little tougher and CD-25 is a complete tossup.
