I was just browsing the dept. of state website and checking out the proposed amendments for the election and I came across this gem.

NDEPENDENT NONPARTISAN COMMISSION TO APPORTION LEGISLATIVE AND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS WHICH REPLACES APPORTIONMENT BY LEGISLATURE

Establishes non-partisan method of appointment to commission. Disqualifies certain persons for membership to avoid partiality.

WOW! I love this amendment! This will help alleviate supposed bias and gerrymandering of the districts. This is a great thing for Florida! I called up and left a message in support ... I encourage all voters to read over this one. This sounds awesome.
