Florida Congressional District Boundaries, Amendment 6 (2010)
Many Republicans are saying it will hurt minority-held seats, but I think that is code for "Republicans might lose there massive lead in the legislature and CDs".
Summary
Congressional districts or districting plans may not be drawn to favor or disfavor an incumbent or political party. Districts shall not be drawn to deny racial or language minorities the equal opportunity to participate in the political process and elect representatives of their choice. Districts must be contiguous. Unless otherwise required, districts must be compact, as equal in population as feasible, and where feasible must make use of existing city, county and geographical boundaries.
