A reader sent me a link and said this is the Senate Map (above). I don't know which map is right they both look like NOT compact districts and they both look the same to me except for the numbers. Leave it to the Legislature to NOT update their records.
I found this map above on the Senate website. I added the numbers. District 23/39 is ridiculous on both maps. Look at how it finger in at Doral (almost to the East Coast). Fingers don't belong on District maps. This district 23/39 goes into 4 Counties, all the way from Key West up to Hendry County. Could this be considered a compact district? Only in the minds of our State Senate.

District 23 is on the SW coast, the big district is 39, keeping the same number it currently has. It is that large because those 4 counties have very little population.

You "assumed" wrong!
39 is gerrymandering all over the place. And of course, it doesn't matter.
