Roy, I have to wonder if you have strong opinions about this.
You actually were, are, it's questionable, a resident of this congressional district 20 where you were represented by Sheila Scherfelis McCormick.
Say that 10 times fast.
I will not.
But you, I think we talked about this unconstitutional mid-decade.
redistricting that Governor Ron DeSantis and the Florida legislature with a Republican supermajority enacted to try to reduce potential numbers of blue seats and thus disenfranchising communities through the packed or cracked system.
And it seems like you were cracked out of your congressional district.
Which was Frederica Wilson's seat.
She's retiring.
And it seems like that remains a black majority seat.
But I think the goal there was to pack black voters into that congressional district and then break up the voting power of black voters in District 20, for example, which used to be a black district.
Majority District.
One of the people running in that race is a man who needs no introduction to listeners of this show.
He is a Broward County substitute teacher and congressional candidate in District 20 in a very packed race now, including Luther Campbell, Uncle Luke.
including Sheila Scherfelis McCormick, the incumbent who, when we last spoke to Elijah Manley, was suing him for defamation because you accurately called her corrupt in a campaign ad, and then she was subsequently indicted by the feds for that very corruption, which was siphoning, I would say, misappropriating over $5 million in public money that she accidentally received in COVID-related funds, and then she spent it
on a beautiful ring and her hair on bling to get herself elected to Congress somehow.
So first of all, I guess we should start there.
She was suing you when last we spoke for defamation for telling the truth.
So what's the status of that bullshit?
