that one 100 percent i hear what you say about california and the independent commission i'm
00:05
not going to challenge you on that however purple states like michigan and virginia have independent
00:11
commissions as well my question is would the people of florida have more confidence in the
00:16
legislature drawing maps and not having accusations of gerrymandering than if an independent commission
00:23
appointed with a lot of input obviously from you in the republican majority would that be a better
00:29
solution than having a state legislature it would be a much less accountable solution you know you
00:33
have as voters you can hold the legislature accountable every two years you get to go and
00:38
hold them accountable if you don't like what they're doing and that ultimately is the protection that you
00:43
have as citizens to be able to basically if you don't like what's going on like they say you can
00:48
throw the bums out anytime you want um but i would also just point to the florida legislature and look
00:55
i had folks in my office that were because you know we had a disagreement on the map so they were
01:00
they were drawing look at florida's map um look at look at the compactness of the districts it was
01:06
well done it just was and uh and i think you would see something similar florida's constitution says
01:12
you got to have compact you got to try to follow boundaries geographical boundaries municipal the best
01:19
you can to make it a sensible uh district and i think the map that we have now does that now the
01:26
people at the time particularly you know the other party they didn't like it because we did dismantle
01:31
that gerrymandered district and it did cause a change in the partisan representation for the state
01:37
in terms of our whole delegation but that wasn't the intent of it that was an effect of it because we
01:43
that was an effect of it because we were abiding by the constitution
