Ron DeSantis releases new congressional map creating four more GOP-leaning seats in Florida
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis released a proposed redraw of the state’s congressional lines that, on paper, would create four new GOP-leaning seats — an aggressive proposal that the governor is using to try to challenge anti-gerrymandering language in the state constitution.
The Florida Legislature is set to begin a special session Tuesday to consider the maps, which are overwhelmingly expected to pass out of the GOP-dominated body, though even Republicans have expressed annoyance by how DeSantis has handled the process.
Do something positive.
