Ron DeSantis Defends Constitutionality of 'Political Gerrymandering'
Ron DeSantis, the Governor, believes that the fewer seats Democrats have, the better.
According to DeSantis,
those who draw the maps make the rules. In a post, DeSantis argued that courts are likely to find racial gerrymandering to be unconstitutional because the Constitution bans discrimination based on race.
However, DeSantis sees nothing in the document that prohibits a legislative map skewed to one party's benefit.
The Constitution says nothing about political gerrymandering, which is why the Court has found such claims to be non-justiciable, DeSantis said. He added that
a court can't just find things to be unconstitutional because it doesn't like them; there needs to be a basis in the text, history and structure of the Constitution for its decision.
While this is true of the federal Constitution, it is more debatable regarding the Florida Constitution.
