@USATODAY@DemRedistrict Unfortunately, @EricHolder should know that deliberate racial gerrymandering - also known as “minority access districts” in #Florida - certainly contributed to the problems he describes.
@AnnaForFlorida Respectfully, the #Florida Constitution doesn’t require the parliamentary system, so exact proportionality has never been an objective.
The current #FL05 is an obvious racial gerrymander - look at the map - and these look more compact.

@AnnaForFlorida#FL26 looks gerrymandered because of two population centers which will require two congressional district offices; not much in common.
The more urban areas include some creative lines for minority access, but, okay.
A legitimate issue is representation.

@AnnaForFlorida Then-Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-Fl-20) responsibly announced his pancreatic cancer diagnosis in January 2019.
Maybe @FlaDems@browarddems@PBCDemParty urged him to retire, but in any event, he ran again in 2020, was renominated and re-elected, and, sadly, passed away in April 2021, less than 100 days in.
In 2018, @browarddems didn’t bother to check out the draft @BrowardVotes@Brenda4SOE General Election ballot early enough to fix any problems identified by such a standard review.
