By dissecting blue congressional districts to formulate a "redder" map, a number of other districts in the state will move from red to shades of purple. In a looming wave year this could backfire. A faulty premise employed by DeSantis' mappers was factoring the increased level of 2024 Latino voter support for the GOP as being a constant going forward into 2026. The recent election of a Democratic mayor in Miami-Dade by a surprisingly comfortable margin puts that to rest. Former Florida GOP rep Joe Scarborough predicts that Florida Republicans are in for rude awakening. I hope that assessment is a correct one for Florida and for South Texas as well.
