2. Florida Democratic Party released a statement calling the bill "the most outrageous and transparent

abuse of legislative power in years…"

"One word describes this bill: outrageous," said Deirdre Macnab, president of the League of Women Voters of Florida, part of a coalition that backed the Fair Districts amendments and is expected to file suit against the redistricting maps. "This bill takes the smoke-filled rooms of state government and puts a clear billboard across the door: 'Citizens May Not Enter.'"
