Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a redrawn congressional district map into law, a move designed to shift the state's political balance by giving Republicans an advantage in up to four additional House races ahead of November's midterm elections. The new map restructures districts around Miami, Orlando, and the Tampa Bay area — packing Democratic voters into fewer seats while bolstering Republican-leaning constituencies — potentially growing the GOP's Florida delegation from 20 to 24 seats and cutting Democrats from eight seats to four. The move drew immediate legal challenge, with the Elias Law Group filing a lawsuit in Leon County on behalf of Florida voters, arguing the redistricting violates Florida's state constitution, which includes a voter-approved ban on partisan gerrymandering.
