Florida Governor DeSantis signs new congressional map into law and faces immediate lawsuit
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a new congressional map into law that could give Republicans a 24-4 advantage in Florida's congressional delegation, potentially netting the party four additional House seats. Hours after the signing, the National Redistricting Foundation and Elias Law Group filed a lawsuit in Florida's 2nd Judicial Court on behalf of Democratic voters, arguing the map violates Florida's constitution's Fair Districts Amendment prohibiting partisan gerrymandering. DeSantis has cited the Supreme Court's ruling in Louisiana v. Callais as justification for the new districts.
