- A Florida judge on Wednesday said the state's new congressional map, championed by Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, unconstitutionally dilutes Black citizens' voting power.
Smith indicated he planned to issue a formal order on Thursday or Friday striking down the map, which would then likely be appealed by the state. The DeSantis-backed map eliminated that district while ensuring Republicans have the edge in 20 of the state's 28 U.S. congressional seats, giving Republicans a substantial boost as they seeks to retake control of the U.S. House of Representatives in November's midterm elections.
