So FL-14 is fine, but FL-10 is too gerrymandered? Seriously?

There are no arguments (outside incumbent protection, including in primaries) for the shape of FL-10. There are for FL-14 and FL-5. Not great ones necessarily, but they're there.

I agree that that is much more reasonable, and that such a map should have been drawn under a fair interpretation of the law.

And yet, have you had a look at Pinellas County's racial population distribution? That Black enclave in Petersburg is incredibly contained, and (I forget who... the state NAACP? The area's local representative)'s proposed map included the area in CD-14.
