Florida Congress Hands the Governor Control of Redistricting
< < Go Back
Plenty is at stake in the 2022 midterms. And the future of our country will be determined by the makeup of Congress.
Democrats have tried to game the system by drawing congressional districts in their favor. In Florida, the governor vetoed a map he believed favored Democrats.
He gave the state legislature time to come up with a new map. Instead, they are handing control over to DeSantis.
From Miami Herald:
In a highly unusual move, Republican legislative leaders on Monday deferred to Gov. Ron DeSantis to draft a new congressional map in an apparent attempt to appease the governor and dissolve intraparty tensions over the redistricting process in Florida…
Historically, the Legislature has taken the lead in redrawing the lines of congressional districts. But DeSantis will take the lead on the congressional map-making heading into the special session that is scheduled to start next Tuesday.
Wow, Democrat heads must be exploding, right now.
