Florida House redistricting maps would add Hispanic seats

An Orlando Sentinel article on Florida House redistricting. Here.

All five of the draft districts for the 120-member House would create a Hispanic-majority district in the Kissimmee area and another centered around the Palm Beach County city of Palm Springs. And four of the five plans would draw a district at least 40-percent black around the city of Eatonville.

Unlike the Senate – which Tuesday advanced single congressional and Senate-district maps unveiled last week -- the House opted to float essentially a buffet menu of options. And while a quick analysis indicated they would make some Republican-leaning seats safer, they'd also likely elect a few more Democrats.
