Florida Legislature Blocks DeSantis’ Redistricted Map, Proposes Inferior Map
Wendell Husebø 11 Feb 2022
The Republican-controlled Florida legislature on Thursday opposed Gov. Ron DeSantis’ (R) redistricted map that would have advantaged Republicans in the November midterms.
After Florida’s Supreme Court did not render a helpful advisory opinion on DeSantis’s proposed 20-8 redistricted map, the establishment Republican leaders of the Florida legislature, House Speaker Chris Sprowls (R) and President of the Senate Wilton Simpson (R), immediately put forward a subpar map that hands Democrats two more seats (18-10).
DeSantis’s spokeswoman Taryn Fenske told the Washington Post that state Republicans were “hopeful the Supreme Court would provide clarity to legal questions surrounding the maps,” but in the wake of a non-opinion, DeSantis will consider the legislature’s weaker map.
The legislature’s proposal keeps Rep. Al Lawson’s (D) district in North Florida while also being less aggressive in Central Florida:

Has it ever occurred to you @Kamaji that there are many Republicans who do not want to win?

Why would they not want to?
Personally, I think too many of them have an inflated sense of self, and a quaint, no-longer-valid belief that if they just play fairly enough with their opponents, their opponents will play fairly back with them.

*hmmmm* I think our disconnect here may be in our definitions of "Win".
Of course, they ALL want to get elected but they definitely do not want to foment any REAL change to anything to do with government.
