Unlike Texas, New York has an anti-gerrymandering provision in its Constitution. And unlike Florida the map did not look clean or compact.

Can we put this talking point to rest already? You'd think every online conservative is on DeSantis's payroll. FL-14 is obviously not clean or compact, neither is FL-07 frankly.

Florida's map is very compact for the most part, actually. Now, if you want a map that's not clean or compact, just look at Illinois

Every conservative talking about redistricting has a dialogue tree. Clean and compact, partisan fairness is fake, counties don't matter, water doesn't matter except when it does, let's start talking about Illinois now.

Yes, because a district that goes from Danville to Hyde Park is the epitome of fairness.

It's definitely not fair! But it's also irrelevant. It would be like if I brought up Texas in the Illinois thread. Everyone knows Democrats gerrymander too, that has nothing to do with whether the Florida map is fair/legal or not.
