More Gerrymandering Goodness
Some people might think that such things happen by accident. Those people are still waiting for Santa Claus on Christmas eve. The Republicans made no attempt to disguise what they were up to, and they left records, including this PDF file of the notes used by Jack Merkl during the redistricting debate in the Florida Senate.
There are 67 counties in Florida and 25 Congressional districts. Some might wonder why there are 6 members of Congress representing parts of Broward County, including 5 of the 8 Democrats. Florida District 21 has a piece in the southwest of the county and Republican Lincoln Diaz-Balart is the Congresscretin.
You need a lot of screen to appreciated the work that went into Broward, which is just north of Miami-Dade county, so here’s a link to a PDF from the county.
If these guys would put as much effort into fixing the state as they do into fixing elections, they could get elected on their merits.

They didn’t think it would matter, since they concentrate on winning elections, not doing anything afterwards.
