FLorida’s constitution prohibits these kinds of partisan gerrymanders, so, suck it.

Cracking the Tampa area without a Democratic vote sink could be rather dangerous in a Democratic-leaning year; I’d expect the proposed district 14 to be fairly soft, and possibly districts 12 and 13 depending on the exact distribution of territory. District 25 in the southeast coast is probably also only a little Republican-leaning, but there’s not too much else that can be done to scrounge out a Republican-leaning district since outside of the Cuban areas, southeast Florida doesn’t have any large stretches of heavily Republican territory (certain municipalities like Palm Beach are very Republican but quite small).

The problem with “redistricting” is that it’s only a problem when the other side does it

This shit doesn’t even work long term. Yeah you get more seats when elections come around the corner. But all this redistricting does is turn strong holds to battle grounds. You aren’t turning them into red or blue, but purple.

Is the district between 23 and 27 an extension of another district ($21?) or its own district, and just not numbered on this map?

this is based on what 2024 turnout? somehing ahhh tells me that might not hold up in the long run

Elected officials are “cracking” and “stacking” districts to get the most for their party. All this does is spread your party’s votes like peanut butter, making those districts more susceptible to flipping and creates strongholds for the opposition. Not a great long term strategy for the party doing the redistricting, but short sighted success is all that matters now.

Not just this one or if Virginia gets to keep there’s, it’s gonna be wild when they go to the trouble of gerrandering, more people actually get out and vote and these new safe districts just vote the other way anyways. Like the areas are red or blue because of 30% turnout metrics, if it’s ever 60 or 70 percent the math might not match the same way.

How bad does this politically-motivated gerrymandering have get before someone fixes the issue once and for all?
But for that matter, what would a proper ‚fix‘ even look like? How can a government guarantee that unfair gerrymandering is not and will not take place?

TheHykos on
They would have to water down their majority in each district so much to make this work that they risk losing all of them if republican turnout is low. Giving up safe 60-70 point districts for all 51 point districts is a huge risk that could seriously backfire.
