Florida House members rejected changes to proposed congressional district maps today, clearing the way for the “base map” option to proceed, which would split Sarasota County between two districts. The House is set for a floor vote on the issue tomorrow. Meanwhile, the Senate is still considering an amendment to keep Sarasota County within one district and could approve a map different from the House. The full legislature has until Friday to mutually agree on a map before the redistricting session ends.
