Florida is supposed to have an "independent commission" for redistricting.  I'm not sure exactly what that means, but if it means unbiased redistricting Dems are bound to pick up a few seats.  Right now Republicans control 19-6, and Florida is a near evenly split state.  In a perfect world the new delegation would be 14-13 GOP, but there are too many majority minority districts to do that.  Dems should be able to pick up at least a few seats here.


It's not an independent commission; its a set of guidelines. The lines are still drawn by legislators. The Democratic party of Florida unfortunately both stinks and has all its strength concentrated in a small number of areas; I doubt they get more than 2 seats.

Figures that the Republicans in the Republican controlled states get to control everything, meanwhile California Democrats are underrepresented on the redistricting commission.
