From their usual strategy this seems like it was the plan all along.

They're going to put prisoners in her district by making sure the district includes a prison. If they were going to simply arrest all the black people in her district and put them in jail then they wouldn't be living in her district anymore because they'd be living in whatever district has the jail. It's still awful and this lady is a poo poo head, but it's a pretty important difference.

Rent-A-Cop posted:Corrine Brown is loving awful anyway. She's collaborated with the state Republicans every time they've opposed anti-gerrymandering laws because her district is gerrymandered to gently caress. It's basically her personal fiefdom. Oh, I'm fully of that and I understand that she's definitely part of the problem when it comes to gerrymandering in Florida.

Not saying it's a good thing, but it's also fairly common iirc. I think you'll see this a lot in minority districts in Illinois, particularly the 4th.

Here's a case where both sides of an important debate are bad and wrong. Computer-generated demographic-blind districts for everyone, please.
