Florida Megathread

State Supreme Court orders a redraw of eight Congressional districts, including FL-13 and FL-27.

Which means? New pick ups?

Basically RIP Gwen Graham.

No, she would just run in FL-5, where she could easily beat Corinne Brown in the primary.

Not in a majority minority primary, Daddy can't help her out there

So, can the Republicans appeal this to the U.S Supreme Court so as to delay its implementation until 2018?

I'm obviously not a lawyer and hopefully Badger muon, torie or Lief will confirm what I will say. But the FL supreme court ruled that it violated the FL constitution (the anti gerrymander amendment). So I don't believe they can appeal.

But they can appeal on the grounds that the FSC overstepped its bounds or that they misinterpreted the Florida constitution

Uhm, majority minority districts vote for white candidates, just look at TN-9. Plus, Corrine Brown is a complete disaster, so it's not like Graham could not dispatch her fairly easily.

Yeah after pretending to be a moderate and voting against Pelosi I doubt she can do an about face and win a liberal Majority minority district where her daddy isn't going to help her. Cohen also only won in tn-9 because a large number of Black candidates split the AA vote allowing him to win with only 25% or so

Downtown Jacksonville won't dump Corrine, ESPECIALLY for Graham. She's done.

That won't be the only part of the district, Tallahassee and Gadsden County will make up a good portion, which is Graham's territory.

Dude just admit the activist decision while getting you a net gain has cost you daddy's little girl, theres a good chance she would have lost reelection anyways

You're acting like there won't be more opportunities for her down the road, and you're acting like the governor's mansion isn't going to be open in 2018.

Not even gonna talk about the blatant sexism you're spewing all over the thread.

Why because I pointed out that she like many candidates on both sides of the spectrum would be nowhere without there name? Was it misandrist when people made daddy comments about George W. Bush?

It wasn't an activist decision and Graham would easily defeat Brown, because Brown is a moron. It's not like makes a difference to Republicans anyway, there is no net gain here for them.

It was an activist decision in that it was made along party lines to benefit one party, All im going to say in regards to a fl-5 primary is that you'll be dissapointed counting on a white candidate in a primary that will be at least 70% AA

Because you brought the fact that she was a woman into it when it wasn't about her being a woman.

Also, the fact that you're unironically using "misandry" (especially when most of those comments were made by men, against a man) isn't helping your case.

I was bringing up the fact that her victory in 2012 was more as a result of her father than political skill, if using "daddy's little girl" as a joke offends you im sorry about that. Also I used misandry to mock how you feel connecting a clueless idiot to their father's success is somehow insulting other features about themselves

Any chance Crist loses a primary?
