The Florida court picked the Dem friendly map? I'm shocked! After Muon2's model code (after we get it right) is adopted in Illinois, its first stop, the next stop is Florida.
Wouldn't almost any other map be Democrat-friendly, though? I'm not a map drawer but I've seen mock attempts at the Congressional districts for a Democratic gerrymander that netted a lot more seats than the map they adopted. I feel like the same could be done for the Senate one, too. It just seems like a fair map. Hell, if the GOP wasn't doing so terribly with non-white voters, it wouldn't be so skewed.
Then again, I think unless we completely took it out of people's hands and let computers draw the maps, there is always going to be a discussion like this on any map.
