Just say no to DeSantis’ election rigging
Published on April 18, 2026.
Gov. Ron DeSantis has invited Florida lawmakers to a four-day special session to redraw Florida congressional districts for partisan advantage, which is illegal under the state constitution’s Fair Districts amendments. This move is seen as an illegal power grab by a governor struggling to stay relevant in the final months of his second term. The public has been excluded from the public and no drafts of maps have been released. The move could result in some members losing their seats due to a new map moving some Republican voters to different districts, which could put GOP incumbents at risk in areas such as the I-4 corridor around Orlando. The issue of redrawing congressional districts is also a distraction from Florida's deepening affordability crisis and could impact Florida's future as a result. The state's Republican supermajority is expected to challenge the new map in court immediately if it is challenged by legal challenges.
