Florida Judge Rejects DeSantis’ Redrawn Congressional District Map
<p>Things aren’t going well for the former Dark Lord of Florida. After his abysmal performance in the first Republican primary debate, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/no-desantis-debate-bounce-some-republicans-more-open-him-reutersipsos-2023-08-25/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">his poll numbers plunged to a low of 13%</a>. Compare that to Trump, who didn’t even show up to the debate, whose poll numbers rose to 52%.</p>
<p>And then there was the hurricane. Idalia. The first hurricane in decades to strike Big Bend where the panhandle meets the peninsula of Florida and also, coincidentally, the location of Tallahassee, the capital of Florida.</p>
<p>Could that have been the work of our friend Karma? First gently nudging the hurricane on to its unusual path and then splitting an ancient oak in half, with <a href="https://www.wfla.com/news/florida/hurricane-idalia-causes-100-year-old-oak-tree-to-split-fall-on-gov-desantis-mansion/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">half falling on to the governor’s mansion</a>?</p>
<p>Coincidence? I think not.</p>
<p>The universe is talking, Ronnie, and the news is not good. Maybe it’s time to crawl back under your bridge. Once you’ve cleaned up the debris left over from the hurricane, of course. Those <a href="https://patch.com/florida/across-fl/ron-desantis-white-boots-steal-focus-ian-recovery-continues" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">bright white boots </a>won’t be so white when you’re finished.</p>
<p>In yet another blow, Circuit Court Judge J. Lee Marsh <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/03/us/politics/florida-congressional-map-black-voters-desantis.html?smid=nytcore-android-share" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">has rejected DeSantis’ Congressional district map.</a></p>
<p>You know what I’m about to do, right? Judge Marsh was appointed in 2011 by then Gov., now Sen. Rick Scott, a Republican. Surprise, surprise.</p>
<p>Okay, back to our regularly scheduled rant.</p>
<p>DeSantis owns this map because after the 2020 census when it was time to redraw the Congressional districts, he vetoed the new map drawn by the Florida legislature, drew his own, and then demanded that the Florida legislature approve it.</p>
