"The president of the League of Women Voters of Florida is warning state legislators not to embark on a mid-decade congressional redistricting plan, saying it's unprecedented and goes against the 2010 Fair Districts constitutional amendment.
In 2010, 63 percent of Floridians said that they did not want our states districts drawn on a partisan basis, League President Jessica Lowe-Minor said. They did not want them to be drawn with the intent to favor or disfavor a political party or an incumbent.
"And here we are 15 years later, in an unprecedented attempt to redistrict in the middle of a cycle without a new census to justify those numbers," Lowe-Minor said Sunday in an interview on WPLG Channel 10's "This Week in South Florida" with host Glenna Milberg.
"Florida House Speaker Daniel Perez said earlier this month that he is setting up a select committee to look into redrawing congressional districts, as Republicans seek to keep control of Congress in 2026."
