| Description | Florida redistricting after the 2010 census is likely to be a partisan struggle. The state is likely to gain an additional Congressional seat (for a total of 26). Despite having more registered Democrats than Republicans in Florida, the state government is dominated by Republicans. The state Senate has twenty-six Republicans to fourteen Democrats and the state House has seventy-six Republicans to forty-four Democrats. Additionally, the governor and one senator are also Republicans. This study will present a general overview of Florida redistricting followed by close examination of the more competitive, at risk or over-populated Congressional districts.
This study will also consider the potential impact of the “FairDistricts” measure headed for Florida’s ballot this November. |
