Florida voters sue to block DeSantis-backed map amid alleged extreme gerrymandering

Florida voters and Equal Ground Education Fund filed a lawsuit to block the GOP’s mid-decade 2026 congressional map, arguing it violates Florida’s Fair Districts Amendment by intentionally packing and cracking Democratic voters; the complaint cites the map drawer’s admission of using partisan data and suggests the plan could yield 24 of Florida’s 28 seats even with less than proportional votes, signaling a high-stakes clash over redistricting and constitutional limits.
