Ron DeSantis, autocrat-in-training, proposes gratuitously unfair new voting map
MSNBCNov 25, 2021
The Facts
Florida Gov. DeSantis has submitted his own congressional redistricting map proposal, after reportedly questioning the legality of the one put forth by the state Senate.
His map would make 18 districts favour Republicans, two more than the Senate's current proposals.
The Spin
Left narrative
His redistricting proposal is autocratic and aims to unconstitutionally diminish the influence of black and hispanic voters.
Right narrative
DeSantis' proposal offers an opportunity to combat Democrat redistricting gains.
Establishment-critical narrative
Both Democrats an Republicans gerrymander massively, making American democracy far from fair. Election laws should change.
