Florida Demands “Reallocation” Of US House Seats

August 11, 2025 Republicans, Trump cultists

Florida Politics reports:

Leading Florida Republicans say the state deserves more U.S. House seats — as many as five of them. And Gov. Ron DeSantis and Attorney General James Uthmeier say the state should get them before the 2026 Midterms. That adjustment would happen with a new census, both said, but could also be done by revisiting decisions made after the 2020 census.

Uthmeier, in a letter to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, said several irregularities in the reapportionment of seats in 2020 denied Florida at least one House seat. He argued the federal government can reallocate seats in the House based on data available now.

“We should not have to wait for the next complete, fifty state census hoping that — this time — the bureau will get it right and allocate the congressional seats and federal funding allocations to which they are entitled,” Uthmeier wrote. “Steps must be taken now to right these wrongs.”
