Redistricting Maps Starting to Move in Florida
The Florida Senate redistricting committee passed a Congressional map Wednesday that solidifies the strong GOP advantage in the delegation, but imperils Republican Reps. Allen West, David Rivera, Steve Southerland and Tom Rooney.
The map passed by the panel also adds two new districts, mandated by the decennial reapportionment process. One is likely to be Republican and one Democratic.
"The way it's going, it's not bad for Democrats," said one in-the-know Tallahassee Republican. "I think Southerland and Rooney are OK because of the year we're going to have, but they're tight [races]."
