      Not really, you guys are voting in DeSantis for governor and that’s not something that can be gerrymandered. The cities may be more liberal than the country, but FL is a GOP state at this point.

        The Dems basically threw the last gubernatorial election by running Charlie Crist as their candidate, who was formerly a Republican governor in Florida who later changed parties. Gotta be the stupidest political move I’ve ever seen by the DNC. Even still, Tallahassee and Orlando voted for him.

        In the last presidential election, Tallahassee, Tampa, Jacksonville, West Palm Beach, and Miami all voted for Biden. That is why people say the cities are liberal, and they’re correct. I know this from life experience anecdotally, and backed up with stats. However, I do not think the state is suffering from gerrymandering. It’s more suffering from the poor state of our education system that leaves the rural areas to rely on mainstream cable news and their family’s opinions to determine who to vote for, which leans to the right.
