佛罗里达州议会将于周二召开会议，审议州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯提出的新国会选区划分方案，以期在2026年中期选举前的重新划分选区拉锯战中，为共和党额外拿下至多四个席位。
佛罗里达州目前有20名共和党籍、7名民主党籍联邦众议员，上周民主党众议员希拉·谢尔菲勒斯-麦科密克辞职后空出一个席位。德桑蒂斯提出的新方案旨在取消或缩减坦帕、奥兰多以及该州东南海岸部分地区的民主党倾向选区。
如果该方案获得通过，民主党众议员贾里德·莫斯科维茨、洛伊斯·弗兰克尔、黛比·沃瑟曼·舒尔茨、凯西·卡斯特和达伦·索托都将大概率在新选区参选，其中部分选区的政治倾向将向更有利于共和党方向转变。
“佛罗里达民主党人在州内的代表席位显然会减少——至少这是方案的意图所在，”佛罗里达大学政治学教授迈克尔·麦克唐纳说道，“目前的席位数量已经低于该州公平选区划分应有的水平。”

此前特朗普总统去年在德州启动中期选举前重新划分选区的行动，为共和党争取更多席位，而佛罗里达州可能是2026年中期选举前最后一个调整国会选区划分的州。
如果佛罗里达州议会批准这一新方案，且该方案未在法庭上遭遇成功挑战，那么重新划分选区拉锯战的局势将向共和党倾斜——尽管没有任何一个席位是两党可以百分百确保拿下的。
曾为全美各地的委员会和议会担任选区划分顾问的麦克唐纳指出，他认为共和党未必能赢得全部四个新增席位。
“往最乐观的情况估计，我觉得大概能拿下三个选区，因为其中一个竞争非常激烈，就算不算民主党稳拿，从某些指标来看也还是倾向民主党的，”麦克唐纳说道。
佛罗里达州议会由共和党占据多数席位，州众议院议长丹尼尔·佩雷斯在会议开始时表示，他希望能在周三就该新选区方案进行投票。但该新方案面临重大法律障碍，因为该州有一项禁止党派操纵选区划分的《公平选区修正案》。不过，德桑蒂斯已经任命了佛罗里达州最高法院七名大法官中的六名，这使得民主党很难在法庭上挑战成功。
德桑蒂斯首先将该方案透露给了福克斯新闻，其中包含了代表各选区预期政治倾向的配色标注。
德桑蒂斯告诉福克斯新闻，此次中期选举前重新划分选区是必要的，原因是2020年人口普查对佛罗里达州人口存在低估。德桑蒂斯和佛罗里达州总检察长詹姆斯·尤特迈尔以此为由，在去年8月呼吁启动中期选举前的选区重新划分工作。
德桑蒂斯的总法律顾问戴维·阿克塞尔曼周一致信议会领导人，批评2010年《公平选区修正案》中基于种族的相关要求，并以此为由提出在佛罗里达州东南部设立新的“以种族中立原则划分的选区”。阿克塞尔曼还提到了坦帕、奥兰多和棕榈滩县北部的人口增长情况。
“尽管新方案仍基于2020年人口普查数据，但它试图通过围绕高增长区域重新调整选区边界，来应对这些显著的人口变化，”阿克塞尔曼写道。
民主党众议员索托在佛罗里达州中部的选区是西班牙裔占多数的选区，目前受《投票权法案》第二条保护，但最高法院正就一项可能推翻该条款的案件进行审理。
众议院民主党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯周一批评了这一新选区方案，特别提及了《公平选区修正案》以及针对索托所在选区的调整。
杰弗里斯表示，德桑蒂斯“试图胁迫议会通过一项明显违反佛罗里达州州宪法的方案，而且顺带一提，该方案针对南佛罗里达和中佛罗里达的少数族裔社区，这同时也违反了美国宪法第十四修正案”。
对于共和党来说，在塔拉哈西的特别会议期间快速通过该选区方案，并在后续的法律挑战中站稳脚跟至关重要，因为海外和现役军人佛罗里达选民的选票将于7月4日开始邮寄，而初选将于8月18日举行。
此次塔拉哈西的特别会议将持续至5月1日周五。
Florida to consider new congressional map with 4 more GOP-leaning seats, for potential 24-4 advantage

The Florida Legislature is convening Tuesday to review a new congressional map proposed by Gov. Ron DeSantis in an effort to net Republicans up to four new seats in the latest tit-for-tat in the redistricting wars ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
Florida is currently represented by 20 Republicans and seven Democrats, with one seat vacant after Democratic Rep.Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick resigned last week. DeSantis’ proposed map aims to eliminate or shrink Democratic-leaning districts in Tampa, Orlando and parts of the state’s southeast coast.
Should this map pass, Democratic Representatives Jared Moskowitz, Lois Frankel, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Kathy Castor and Darren Soto are all likely to run in new districts, some of which would have shifted to be more favorable for Republicans.
“The representation for Florida Democrats will clearly be diminished within the state — at least that’s the intention” said University of Florida political science professor Michael McDonald. “Already it’s diminished below what a fair map would be for the state of Florida.”
Florida map shows proposed congressional redistricting
Florida is likely the last state to redraw its congressional map for the 2026 midterm elections after President Trump kicked off the mid-decade redistricting scramble in Texas last year to net more seats for the GOP.
If the Florida Legislature approves the new map and it isn’t successfully challenged in court, the scorecard in the redistricting wars could tip toward Republicans — although no seats are guaranteed for either party.
McDonald, who has served as a consultant to commissions and legislatures throughout the country on redistricting, noted that he did not believe all four of these districts will be won by Republicans.
“Most generously, I would say maybe three districts because there’s one that’s highly competitive, if not Democratic — still Democratic-leaning on some measures,” McDonald said.
Republicans have a majority in the Florida Legislature, and the State House Speaker Daniel Perez said at the start of the session that he hopes to bring the proposed map for a vote on Wednesday. But the new map faces significant legal hurdles since the state has a law, the “Fair Districts” amendment, that bans partisan gerrymandering. However, DeSantis has appointed six of the seven current justices on Florida’s Supreme Court, making any successful challenges difficult for Democrats.
DeSantis gave the map to Fox first, which included color-coded districts representing their expected political lean.
DeSantis told Fox that this mid-decade redraw is needed because of an undercount of Florida from the 2020 census. DeSantis and Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier cited that as the reason for beginning their calls last August for a mid-decade redraw.
In a letter sent by DeSantis’ general counsel David Axelman to legislative leaders on Monday, he criticized the 2010 Fair Districts Amendments race-based requirements and used that as a reason for new, “race-neutral terms districts” in southeast Florida. Axelman also pointed to population growth in Tampa, Orlando and north of Palm Beach County.
“While still based on 2020 census data, the proposed map nevertheless attempts to account for these dramatic population changes by reconfiguring districts around the areas of high growth,” Axelman wrote.
Democratic Rep. Soto’s district in central Florida, a majority Hispanic district, is currently protected under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, although the Supreme Court has a pending decision that could potentially strike down that provision.
House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Monday criticized the new map, specifically pointing to the Fair Districts Amendment and the changes to Soto’s district.
Jeffries said DeSantis is “going to try to bully the legislature to enact a map that clearly violates the Florida State Constitution, and by the way, because it goes after communities of color in South Florida and in Central Florida also violates the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution.”
Getting this map passed quickly through the legislature in Tallahassee during this special session and then surviving legal challenges is imperative for Republicans, since ballots get mailed out to overseas and uniformed Florida voters as soon as July 4 for the Aug. 18 primary.
The special session in Tallahassee runs through Friday, May 1.
