Florida legislature approves new congressional map that could add four Republican House seats
The Florida state legislature passed a new congressional map proposed by Governor Ron DeSantis on Wednesday, which would shift the state's congressional delegation from a 20-8 Republican advantage to a 24-4 advantage. The vote occurred the same day the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling in Louisiana v. Callais that narrowed the Voting Rights Act's Section 2, which could affect legal challenges to the map. The map is expected to face lawsuits, in part because Florida's state constitution bans intentional partisan gerrymandering.
