Federal court upholds DeSantis-backed congressional map

3. So they ignored that DeSantis' map deliberately ut Al Lawson's district

So we lost our Black US Representative, lumped BLUE Leon, Gadsden, and Jefferson Counties with the blood red Panhandle counties, and gave us Neal Dunn who is a terrible representative (and who sells his contact list to GOP fund raisers)?

This SUCKS - I say this as someone who has been directly affected by DeSantis' gerrymandering.

The previous map was gerrymandered in an effort to split the Leon-Gadsden-Jefferson Counties black votes. District 2 meandered from the middle of Tallahassee through red North Florida counties all the way to Jacksonville. Even so, Al Lawson managed to be elected twice. He was not the best Democrat, but he was a solid Democrat. But he offended DeSantis, so he had to go.

DeSantis made no secret that his map was tailored to get Lawson out. That in itself should have been enough to disqualify that map.

Dunn toes the GQP line. When I didn't like his first vote while he was in office, I contacted his office to let him know. Immediately, I began getting calls and emails from GOP fundraisers. The only way I got off their lists was to thank them for reminding me to donate MORE to Democratic candidates and PACs. Therefore, I will NOT contact my gerrymandered US Representative no matter what stupid ass thing he votes in favor of - I just don't have the energy to go through the GOP dunning (pun intended) again.
