Another General Election cycle, another Democratic Party loss.

If you shape districts to assure that racial and linguistic minorities can "elect representatives of their choice" you are going to get the election of a minority of black and Hispanic Democrats and a majority of white Republicans. The only way to get a Democratic majority to have every swing district "scoop up" enough minority votes to elect white Democrats but not enough to elect a minority Democrat.

The contretemps the Republicans are having in Florida is saving incumbents and not in having enough Republicans. If you have contiguous districts adhering to political boundaries as closely as possible, you will still get a GOP majority in Florida just because of the nature of the distribution of the population.
