The Spin

Democratic narrative

Florida Republicans continue to wear their racism on their sleeves. This map strips Black citizens of their political autonomy, and limits opportunities for Black politicians.

Republican narrative

The vetoed maps were a ridiculous attempt at racial gerrymandering. Florida has done a great job to wipe out the Democrats' unfair advantage by eliminating constitutional infirmities.

Cynical narrative

Both Democrats and Republicans gerrymander massively, making American democracy far from fair. Election laws should change.
