Florida Voters Sue Over Trump-DeSantis Gerrymandering Lawsuit
Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a new congressional map into law, a move expected to significantly increase the GOP’s advantage. This action is part of a broader Republican effort to redraw districts in several states, aiming to secure control of Congress. However, voters, supported by the National Redistricting Foundation, have filed a lawsuit challenging the map, arguing it violates the state’s constitution and the Fair Districts Amendment. The plaintiffs assert the map is an extreme partisan gerrymander designed to dilute Democratic voting power and seek to block its use in upcoming elections.
