Florida Supreme Court Allows New GOP Congressional Map To Remain In Place<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Via American Greatness,<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

The Florida Supreme Court on Wednesday\u00a0declined to block<\/a>\u00a0a new congressional map approved by Republican lawmakers earlier this year. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The map allows the districts to remain in place as the state prepares for upcoming elections.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The decision marks a victory for Gov. Ron DeSantis and Republican leaders who advanced the mid-decade redistricting effort following a US Supreme Court ruling involving Louisiana\u2019s congressional map.<\/p>\n

DeSantis signed the revised map into law in May after the nation\u2019s highest court ruled that Louisiana\u2019s congressional plan, which included an additional majority-Black district, violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.<\/p>\n

The new Florida map could strengthen Republicans\u2019 position in the state\u2019s congressional delegation. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Republicans currently hold a 20-8 advantage in Florida\u2019s US House seats, and the revised districts could potentially expand that margin to as much as 24-4.<\/p>\n

The legal challenge was brought by several Democratic groups that sued the state shortly after the map was enacted.<\/p>\n

A Florida judge previously rejected efforts to stop the map from taking effect.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the Florida Supreme Court\u00a0upheld that decision<\/a>\u00a0in a 6-1 ruling, according to The Hill, refusing a request for a temporary injunction against the new districts.<\/p>\n

The ruling means the map will remain in place while other legal challenges continue.<\/p>\n

Opponents of the map wanted the court to require Florida election officials to continue using the congressional districts from the previous election cycle during the state\u2019s August primaries. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The court\u00a0 declined that request.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
