Florida Dems Fear GOP Redistricting Will Cost Them More Seats

Like I said - the only way Republicans can hang on to power.

I mean, why would they consider adjusting their positions in order to build stronger coalitions and get more votes? Easier to gerrymander & get fewer people to vote.

Hey the Democrats gerrymandered the congressional districts in Texas when they were in charge of the Texas legislature. The Democrats eventually lost power and now the Republicans are in charge. The same number of people vote but the Dems won't have so many districts where Republicans are so outnumbers that they have no chance to win.

For the whining libs................

The 2020 United States redistricting cycle will take place following the completion of the 2020 United States census. In all fifty states, various bodies will re-draw state legislative districts. States that are apportioned more than one seat in the United States House of Representatives will also draw new districts for that legislative body.
Subsequent court cases have required states to redistrict every ten years, although states can redistrict more often than that depending on their own statutes and constitutional provisions.

"Since the 1840s, Congress has mandated that states draw district maps and elect one representative per district for the U.S. House of Representatives. Redistricting became much fairer once a pair of Supreme Court rulings in the 1960s required districts to have equal population.

so the only way they can hang onto power is by winning a state wide election to gain the governorship, and than the majority of district seats so they can do what they want


if they didn't win all those other ones, they would never win these either

True, but up until the Robert's Court pretty much stripped the Voting Rights Act those good ole boy Southern States had to have their maps approved by the Justice Dept, not today, so they sure as hell ain't going let a good opportunity to carve up those minority heavy districts go to waste
