DeSantis to call special Florida legislative session early next year for redistricting

[Free Vulcan]

Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis plans to call a special legislative session early next year for redistricting, ahead of the 2026 midterms.

“Yeah, so we’re going to redistrict,” DeSantis told The Floridian on Monday, according to NOTUS.

The governor said that the timing of redrawing the state's congressional map will depend on the results of a voting rights case before the Supreme Court.

The case is regarding the legality of Section 2 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which has been interpreted as the enforcement mechanism for the 15th Amendment. The statute allows judicial relief for a voter if they believe their right to vote is being infringed upon on the basis of race.

Looks like states will be re-drawing their House Districts every 2 years based upon which party dominates the state Government.

The hyper-partisanship will trickle down to elections for dog catchers and school crossing guard appointments.

DeSantis has stated a few things lately that the legislators are supposed to do; doing away with property tax, lowering cost of insurance and now redistricting.  Funny ... the first two issues DeSantis has stood in the way of accomplishing their goals. So ... I have greatly lost respect and faith in the man.
