Florida's the same way.

In large part, some of those redrawn districts are in areas that have significant Latino population, which, as we know, moved dramatically in Trump's favor in 2024 from where they voted in 2020.

And so if those voters kind of snap back to a 2020 type of scenario where they are voting more Democratic, then those districts will not be as favorable to Republicans.

Correct.

And this is why what's happening right now is so different is that usually you're drawing these every 10 years with the theory of the case being you want these to last for 10 years, right?

Like you're trying to build something, right?

that will be able to withstand what you know will be the shifts of- Changes.

Yeah, like all kinds of changes.

Who turns out in one election is going to look different from who turns out in another election.

What's going to happen if it's a great year for our party?

What is it going to look like if it's a terrible year?

Oh my gosh, a lot of people are moving into our state.

Oh, a lot of people are leaving our state.

How do we think that's going to impact this?

All of those are taken into consideration.

This round of redistricting is literally about the immediate.

How can I immediately get these seats to perform the way I want them to in this election?

And Virginia did a form of that.

Now, that map, as you said, has been thrown out.

But they drew a lot of districts out.
