EXCERPT:
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Monday signed a new set of congressional district maps into law, finalizing a redistricting effort that is expected to reshape Florida’s representation in Washington.
The governor confirmed the move on social media, writing, “Signed, Sealed, and Delivered,” alongside an image of the approved maps.
The new map was passed by the Florida Legislature last week after DeSantis called a special session to address redistricting. Lawmakers moved to adopt the revised boundaries following recent legal developments at the federal level.
Florida’s action comes in the wake of a U.S. Supreme Court decision involving Louisiana that struck down certain race-based districting practices under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. The ruling has prompted several states across the South to revisit their congressional maps.
