Saw that last week. Good. Hopefully this one will be shot down as well.

I'm sure that's just a silly coincidence.
Republicans have become so extreme that the only way they can win elections is to cheat. Florida only has about 36% of the voters but they control 100% of the state. The authoritarians are winning and America is losing when we can't have free and fair elections.
The Extreme Bias Of Florida’s New Congressional Map
On Thursday, the Florida Legislature finally caved to DeSantis’s wishes and passed one of his proposed congressional maps — the last major piece in the national redistricting puzzle. And befitting DeSantis’s national reputation (and ambitions), it is a dream map for partisan Republicans, single-handedly adding four new Republicans to the U.S. House of Representatives. But while DeSantis’s uncompromising insistence on maximizing Republican power may give him a nice story to tell if he runs for president, it could also be the map’s undoing in court.
Florida’s soon-to-be congressional map (it will go into effect once DeSantis signs it) creates 18 seats with a FiveThirtyEight partisan lean1 of R+5 or redder and only eight seats with a partisan lean of D+5 or bluer. (The remaining two seats fall into the “highly competitive” category between R+5 and D+5.)
You dont live in Florida. STFU and worry about your laws in Bumfuck. Pussy.....

Is there any rational recommendation for how the districts SHOULD have been drawn?
I don't see evidence in the map you present here of the "snake" looking districts that Gerrymandering seems to produce.

The irony, Fat Boy, is that you’re too much of a chickenshit to do anything about it. Heck, while I have no doubt you have the money to pay one of the fucking morons to put a hit on me, you strike me as being just barely smart enough to realize that, in the end, you’d be in prison sucking Aryan cock.
Our votes matter more than idiots like you. Half a brain=half a vote.
^^^ Proof you’re an anti-American, authoritarian cocksucker supporting the shredding of our Constitution.
If you really did serve in the military, it also makes you an oath-breaking traitor. Fuck you dead, asshole.
If a third of the State is Republicans, another third Democrats and the last third Independents/third party then the results should reflect the will of the people, not just the third that have finagled control of the entire state.
Good.

You have a vivid Imagination. You sure are one silly old man. Early onset?
Maybe, but you are 100% chickenshit, Fat Boy. No amount of money will ever change that fact. LOL

Judging by the outcomes of the votes, they seem to do what you hope they will do.

They would if they could, sweetums. Democrats have no problem with cheating BAMN. They did in CA, along with other methods as well.
