Florida Re-Districting

Florida

"Despite Republican control of both chambers of the state Legislature and the governor’s office, Florida’s redistricting process has been held up by an internal Republican debate over what the congressional map should look like. Florida gained a House seat after the 2020 census due to strong population growth, bringing its total to 28.

In January, the state Senate approved a map in a bipartisan 31-4 vote. But then, Gov. Ron DeSantis began to push for more aggressive redistricting. DeSantis put forth a proposal that could move the Republican advantage in the state’s congressional delegation from 16–11 to 20–8, according to Dave Wasserman, a national elections analyst for Cook Political Report.

DeSantis also put forward another map proposal this past week. State Republicans are currently in talks over which direction to move in." [WashingtonExaminer]
