Florida House Speaker Convening Congressional Redistricting Committee
Florida’s population has grown 8.2% since 2020, making it the fastest-growing state.
The Tampa Bay Times revealed that Florida House Speaker Daniel Perez formed the Select Committee on Congressional Redistricting.
Perez hopes to finish a map by midterms:
Perez, in his memo, said that they were only focusing on the Congressional map because “we do not have the capacity to engage in the full redistricting process” that lawmakers completed just a few years ago.
As of last week, Florida Senate President Ben Albritton had declined to comment on whether or not the Senate would be open to redrawing Florida’s maps.
Gov. Ron DeSantis has encouraged the Florida Legislature to redraw the Congressional map, despite his office drafting the map that Florida currently has in place.
DeSantis believes redrawing the map would eliminate Florida’s underrepresentation.
“The population has shifted around Florida just since the Census was done in 2020,” claimed DeSantis.
DeSantis is not wrong.
Florida experienced an influx of new residents thanks to the blue states’ draconian COVID laws.
Florida’s population has grown 8.2% since 2020, making it the fastest-growing state. That’s 1.8 million new residents!
The state currently has 23.4 million people.

Democrat heads are exploding. A good thing.
Democrats have gerrymandered every blue state to the point where they can’t be gerrymandered any more. The number of blue states with little Republican representation equal to the population distribution is horrible.
Yet, Republicans can totally realign the red states to the point of reducing Democrat representation following the same rules Demitards have demanded of their states.
Not all blue states have been gerrymandered to that point. NY, for instance, tried an extreme gerrymander and it was thrown out, because the state constitution bans political gerrymandering and their attempt was too blatant. The current map is still illegally gerrymandered, but not blatantly enough that a court would throw it out.
The state has been gerrymandered to the point where it can’t be gerrymandered anymore, as was stated.
Attempts to do so are so blatantly illegal that even the leftist stacked courts of New York can’t sign off on them.
“Democrats have gerrymandered every blue state to the point where they can’t be gerrymandered any more.”
Thanks for proving my point. New York has in fact gerrymandered so much that they can’t be gerrymanders any more.
Not so. They could gerrymander it more, and the only thing stopping them is their own constitution, which they can try to change. That takes time; the earliest it could be done would be 2028, so the earliest election it could affect would be 2030. And there’s always a chance the voters might not go along with the change. Nonetheless it could be done. There is room for it.
But, but, but . . . that will bring us closer to “one citizen, one vote”. The Left cannot tolerate that!

How could it do that? Florida still has the same number of seats, based on the (flawed) outcome of the 2020 census. Reshuffling the districts won’t produce an extra seat.
It could Shuffle some seats from being communists to being Patriots.
How could that eliminate Florida’s underrepresentation? The total size of Florida’s representation is fixed, and there is nothing Florida can do about it. No reshuffling of the seats will change their number.

Republicans are not trying to gerrymander.
If you look at their maps it becomes very clear that they are undoing Democrat gerrymandering.
