the biggest of them is florida.rida's leaders have managed to protect for the most part their constituent's constitutional right even during the pandemic. a lot of places, those rights were canceled. florida did not go into a total lockdown, many businesses and beaches stayed out. what was the result? according to our public policy expert, anthony fauci, florida should be leading the country in coronavirus deaths. that's not true or close. florida has performed far better than states that shut down completely and forced people to isolate, states like new york and new jersey. last summer, at the height of the pandemic, new york and new jersey had five times the number of coronavirus deaths on a per capita basis and far more people live in florida than new york and new jersey. new york still has more corona cases per day. today, we have learned it is even worse than we thought in the northeast. it turns out that new york's governor, andrew cuomo, sent more than 9,000 coronavirus patients from hospitals to nursing home

florida is unique. it passed a fair district amendment a couple of years ago, actually right before the 2012 round, and the goal was to make part of florida statute that maps should be more compact and less gerrymandered and republicans held control last time and they help control this time. 10 years ago they drew a map that heavily favored their own party. florida through the map out in the middle of the last decade and forced the legislature to go back and impose a new map that allowed for democrats to gain a couple of additional seats. this time around, the balance of power on the supreme court in florida has shifted and many worry the republicans could ignore that fair district amendment and drop maps that their hearts desire. but it is complicated, because in florida, republicans picked up a couple seats in the 2020 election. they picked up two seats in the miami area. i think it is likely republicans will draw the two new seats that florida is awarded for themselves, most likely somewhere in the n
