So if you divided the state into (27) equal units based on sq. miles it wouldn't fit the 750,000 people that is needed to have a congressman/woman. Remember that ea. state gets electoral college votes ( presidential election ) based on the number of congressmen (27) for Florida based on our states population ...plus our two senators for a total of (29)electoral votes . Obama won Florida the last two elections....he won primarily in the big population areas especially near universities and our larger southern cities. And remember the old saying that " the further south you go ( in Florida ) the further north you are" meaning the huge southern Florida population of northerners that moved south & brought their voting tendencies with them.
