2020 Census and Redistricting Thread: Florida

[Frodo]

is FL gaining 2 new seats a certainty?

Looks like it, though until the Census Bureau finalizes its official numbers for states to use for redistricting purposes, we won't ever really know for sure:

Republicans currently hold just short of 80 seats in the Florida House.  During Jeb Bush's governorship (in his second term), they had at times upwards of an 85-seat majority, at least until 2006.  After redistricting is over and done with, how likely is it that we are going to see those majorities again this decade?

They are roughly even now, as far as voter registration is concerned:

Florida Republicans close voter registration gap with Democrats

It seems the congressional maps are the prime area of contention between Governor DeSantis and the Republican legislature -and not the legislative maps.

I know I posed this question once before, but with redistricting all but over (at least at the legislative level) giving us a clearer picture, how likely is it that Republicans will regain their 80+ majorities in the Florida House that they once enjoyed during the Jeb Bush years (at least in his second term)?

The legislative maps have been enacted. It's the congressional maps that they're still fighting over.

I said that already.
