The new map also has implications for Central Florida and North Florida, where a redrawn majority-minority district represented by Corrine Brown, D-Jacksonville, probably means Dan Webster , R-Winter Haven, and Gwen Graham, D-Tallahassee, will be voted out of Congress. Brown has said that her new district is a violation of the Voting Rights Act because it does not allow minority voters to elect a candidate of their choosing, and she has promised to take her case to federal court. The numbers, however, do not bear out Brown's contention. Her new district, which runs along the Florida-Georgia border, is mostly Democratic, and most of the Democratic voters in the district are African-American. Now, the redistricting effort turns to state Senate districts, which followed a similar path to congressional ones. The Legislature held a separate three-week session to redraw them after it agreed with voting-rights groups that the previous district lines had violated the Fair Districts Amendments.
