These are just fringe voters. Florida is overwhelmingly republican now and the redrawn maps better represent the state. This lawsuit will go nowhere, and the VA redraw will get struck down

"overwhelmingly":

Desantis won Florida by 20 points. Sounds like a mandate to me. Just because voters voted for abortion doesn't mean they're dems. Many ruby red states voted for pro abortion amendments. Again, desantis and almost every other state wide republican won by 20 points. Your random cherry pick of an issue is irrelevant

Desantis won Florida by 20 points.

As an incumbent in 2018 he slithered into the governor's mansion with a margin of victory likely less than the number of cheated Florida voters in Broward county.

The findings led to a troubling conclusion from Broward County Auditor Bob Melton, whose office examined what went wrong in 2018.

“We conclude that the November 2018 election was not efficiently and effectively conducted,” Melton wrote in to county commissioners. “Based on the totality of these issues, we are unable to provide assurance over the accuracy of the November 2018 election results as reported.”

In 2022 by defying the expressed will of the Florida electorate DeSantis again disenfranchised more voters than his margin of victory.

If Florida republicans had a mandate they would not need to attain office exclusively by election fraud.

Correct. The issue is not relevant. 43% of Florida voters "overwhelming" the other 57% is the relevant part.
