DeSantis Florida redistricting map is unconstitutional and must be redrawn, judge says

State Sen. Kelli Stargel looks through redistricting maps during a Senate Committee on Reapportionment hearing on Jan. 13, 2022, in Tallahassee, Fla. A Florida redistricting plan pushed by Gov. Ron DeSantis violates the state constitution, a state judge ruled Saturday.

The decision was the latest to strike down new congressional maps in Southern states over concerns that they diluted the voting power of Black residents.
