Judge Nixes GOP-Drawn Florida Congressional Districts

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/07/10/1313145/-Judge-Nixes-GOP-Drawn-Florida-Congressional-Districts?detail=email

From The Hill:
A Florida Circut County Court has struck down the state's congressional map and ordered a redrawing of district lines. In his 41-page ruling issued Thursday evening, Judge Terry Lewis writes that the map drawn by the GOP-controlled legislature for the 2012 elections violated the state constitution's Fair Districts Amendments, specifically in regard to the Rep. Corrine Brown's (D) Jacksonville-based 5th District and Rep. Daniel Webster's (R) Orlando-area 10th District.

"The impact can’t be understated, because it really forces almost all of the districts to be adjusted to be more competitive in Florida. Politically, we’re going to be seeing the ramifiactions for years to come," said one Florida Democratic strategist, who admitted the changes likely wouldn't be in place until 2016.

amid all the claims of impending victories by republicans taking the senate keeping the house they gerrymandered and stole last time, they lost by over a million votes American's voted them out of the house but they cheated and stole it while they claimed Americans voted them in again bald faced lies.

with all their skullduggery and voter fraud claims they are still trying the same plan most people know when you do something nefarious and are exposed you don't go right back to it next time.  we need to teach them what democracy really means and punish them for punishing us in the name of racist bigoted attacks to deny our first African American Pres.
