Florida gerrymandering puts Debbie Wasserman Schultz in awkward position of running to represent 42% Black district

The redistricting shifted her from her Fort Lauderdale exurb to an area of Broward County that has historically been associated with Black Democratic representation. Critics argue this gerrymandering represents the erasure of history and limits Black access, especially after the Supreme Court decision gutting provisions undergirding minority voting strength.
