Florida Democrats call out Governor DeSantis’ Unconstitutional Congressional Power Grab
The following statement on the Congressional map signed into law by Governor DeSantis should be attributed to Florida Democratic Chair Manny Diaz:
“The Congressional maps that Governor DeSantis signed today are both a racial and partisan gerrymander. Not only do the maps diminish the ability of Black Floridians to elect a candidate of their choice, they are deliberately drawn to benefit the Republican Party and punish voters who disagree with Ron DeSantis. These maps are exactly what the Fair District amendments to the Florida Constitution, which Floridians overwhelmingly passed over ten years ago, were intended to stop. I wholeheartedly support the legal challenges that have been brought and expect the courts to enforce and uphold the Florida Constitution.”
