Democrat-Backed Lawyers Launch 'Battle Royale' Over Florida's New Congressional Redistricting Map
Democrat-aligned legal heavyweights have moved to block Florida's newly signed congressional map in a battle royale over redistricting in the state's most competitive area.
Democrat-aligned legal heavyweights moved swiftly to block Florida's congressional map after Governor Ron DeSantis signed it into law, setting up a 'battle royale' in the state's redistricting crusade amid allegations of partisan gerrymandering and voting rights abuses. The plan has been challenged by several civil rights groups and Democratic lawmakers, who argue it violates federal law and undermines election integrity. Lawyers from top Democratic-aligned organizations are gearing up for a lengthy court battle to challenge the map and potentially have it redrawn before the 2024 elections.
