Legislature approves Gov. DeSantis’ [s]controversial[/s] congressional redistricting map

[Wingnut]

The cartography (P 0109), which creates 20 Republican-leaning seats and eight Democratic seats, will next head to the Governor for his signature. Once he approves the map, Florida comes off a list of just three states that have yet to complete their redistricting process.

The House on Thursday picked up the reapportionment bill passed the prior day by the Senate. The lower chamber of the Legislature passed the bill through a party-line vote of 68-34.

That only occurred after a protest disrupted proceedings. As Democratic debate time ran out, Rep. Yvonne Hayes, a Gainesville Democrat, was comparing the fight for minority access seats to the Civil Rights movement. As her mic was cut, Black lawmakers including Reps. Angie Nixon, of Jacksonville, and Tray McCurdy, of Orlando, began a sit-in on the floor, both revealing T-shirts that read “Stop the Black Attack.”

That came after just over an hour of debate, primarily dominated by Democrats leveling criticism for the Governor’s end-run on the political process.

It will be challenged in courts.  Dems will have to shop for a judge at the federal level, because they have nothing at SCOFLA.
