Less Red For Broward? FL House Releases Redistricting Maps

1 Reply

Alcee Hastings cannot be pleased.

The Florida House of Representatives has released several redistricting maps. You can read the maps for yourself here. A few quick thoughts:

–FL House 97 still exists, but may no longer include Weston.

–Most of Weston goes to FL House 104, which may explain why Hazelle Rogers is eye-balling the Broward County Commission.

–US Congress CD 20, home to Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Out of Touch) loses Weston, moves from north of I-75 going all the way to Lake Okeechobee. It skips Plantation, but picks up much of central Broward west of US-1.

–CD 22, home to Congressman Allen West, pick ups Plantation, but stays mainlly on the east side of Broward and Palm Beach.

–CD 23, Alcee Hastings gets a big change: the district picks up Weston, Davie, Pembroke Pines, Hollywood, North Miami Beach and Miami Beach.

In an attempt to curb widespread voter fraud, the Florida legislature passed new laws regarding third-party voter registration drives. The measures, signed into law by Gov. Rick Scott, force third-party groups to register with the State and return voter applications with 48 hours.

Several groups, including the League Of Women Voters, have suspended drives in order to comply with the new laws. Many Democrat groups and politicians have cried foul; They hope to get the courts to overturn the law.

RED BROWARD spotted this voter registration drive in front of the Broward County Courthouse. Obama For America set up a tent and table in the lawn just steps away from the main entrance. The OFA volunteers were soliciting new voters and changes of address for current voters. They had literature from Brenda Snipes( Broward Supervisor of Election) and Obama 2012 cards.

Current records do not show OFA as a licensed third-party permitted to conduct voter registration drives.

One of the OFA volunteers is Maggie Davidson of Pompano Beach. Ms. Davidson is an Area District Leader of The Broward Democrat Executive Committee.

The Broward DEC is not on the State Of Florida list either.
