Redistricting – Does it Affect Voters in Key Biscayne’s Precinct 051?
The results of the 2020 Census had Florida emerge as the 3rd most populated state in the nation with 21.5 million people after California and Texas. 2,736,877 or 14.6% more people called Florida their home in 2020 than a decade prior. The population increase won Florida an additional Congressional House Seat (from 27 to 28). Another change prompted by the Census results? Redistricting! It’s the redrawing of voting districts to adjust for uneven growth rates in different parts of the state. Districts determine which voters participate in which elections.
