Quote:Gerrymandering is a way to game the republican system.  

 

I don't live in Florida, so I'm not privy to this particular politician, but whenever you see a district that is set up in a serpentine fashion, you know something fishy is going on.
 

These "majority-minority" districts were originally set up by the Dems to Pub opposition. Corrine Brown's is rather, shall we say, oddly shaped. When the Pubs saw that putting so many Dems into one district was beneficial to their overall success they jumped on the bandwagon.


 

But a fairly recent amendment to the Florida Constitution requires reasonably shaped districts. There is no way to get a  "majority-minority" district and still satisfy the constitution.
