Next part of my series on what fair and compact redistricting could do to the Florida State House. This part looks at South Florida, where Republican gerrymandering has allowed them to have way more seats than what their county performances entitle them to.

Broward County:
I wont waste too much time here, the shapes arent as clean as Id like because I had to keep District 93 and 94 50 % AA majority. The only important things to know here is that the Republican seat, District 91, now voted for Obama 51-47 as opposed to its current 52-48 McCain configuration and District 97 (the lime green one) is now solidly Democratic.
9 Safe Dems, 1 lean Dem
