A New Florida Map Could Backfire on Republicans

“Florida’s much-anticipated special session on redistricting kicks off today, advancing the tit-for-tat push by both parties to net as many safe House seats as they can. The governor’s office will make its pitch in committee today, and the maps could hit the Florida House and Senate floor tomorrow,” Politico reports.

Dan Pfeiffer: “For DeSantis’s map to work, he is betting that Latinos will stick with the GOP at 2024 levels. There is not much evidence to support that bet.”

“The worst-case scenario for a gerrymandered map is that it produces a worse result than the old map. That’s called a dummymander.”
