DeSantis plots end run of Florida law to create more GOP House seats

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is using a three-tiered strategy to bypass state laws banning partisan gerrymandering, aiming to create more GOP-friendly congressional districts ahead of the 2026 elections. His approach leverages the 'Purcell Principle,' executive privilege, and secrecy to evade legal challenges, potentially influencing partisan control of Congress. Critics argue this undermines Florida's constitutional ban on partisan intent in redistricting.
