Florida Judge Upholds Partisan Map

A Florida judge has upheld the state’s new congressional map, drawn by Ron DeSantis’s aide and approved by Republicans, despite challenges from voting rights groups who argue it violates the 2010 Fair Districts Amendment by favoring GOP candidates. The judge ruled the challengers failed to prove the old map would be constitutional, and cited a recent Supreme Court decision limiting race-based redistricting—even though partisan intent was admitted. Groups vow to appeal before the 2026 midterms, as candidate qualifying begins in June, continuing a national fight over partisan gerrymandering that could shift Florida’s House seats in favor of Republicans.
