Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signs new Republican-drawn congressional redistricting map into law
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed legislation on Monday enacting a new congressional map that could give Republicans a 24-4 advantage in the state's delegation, potentially adding four GOP seats. Democratic voters and voting rights groups immediately filed a lawsuit in Florida state court arguing the map violates the state constitution's Fair Districts Amendment prohibiting partisan gerrymandering. DeSantis justified the mid-decade redistricting by citing the Supreme Court's recent Louisiana v. Callais decision striking down race-based redistricting requirements under the Voting Rights Act.
