Over half of Florida voters say mid-cycle redistricting is ‘bad idea’: poll 

More than half of Florida voters say that a mid-cycle redistricting that GOP state lawmakers are mulling over is a “bad idea,” according to a new poll. 

An Emerson College Polling survey released on Thursday found 56 percent of respondents saying that a mid-decade redraw of Florida’s congressional map was a bad idea, while 44 percent said it was a good idea. 

About two-thirds of both Democrats and independents polled — 65 percent and 64 percent respectively — said it was a bad idea. Meanwhile, 43 percent of Republicans polled said it was a bad idea, while 57 percent said it was a good idea. 

Florida lawmakers are expected to convene for a special session later this month to redraw the Sunshine State’s map as Republicans look to pick up a few additional House seats ahead of the midterms.  

Virginia will be holding a referendum around the same........
