The Florida Supreme Court on Wednesday declined to block a new congressional map approved by Republican lawmakers earlier this year. The map allows the districts to remain in place as the state prepares for upcoming elections.<\/p>\n

The decision marks a victory for Gov. Ron DeSantis and Republican leaders who advanced the mid-decade redistricting effort following a US Supreme Court ruling involving Louisiana\u2019s congressional map.<\/p>\n

DeSantis signed the revised map into law in May after the nation\u2019s highest court ruled that Louisiana\u2019s congressional plan, which included an additional majority-Black district, violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.<\/p>\n

The new Florida map could strengthen Republicans\u2019 position in the state\u2019s congressional delegation. Republicans currently hold a 20-8 advantage in Florida\u2019s US House seats, and the revised districts could potentially expand that margin to as much as 24-4.<\/p>\n

The legal challenge was brought by several Democratic groups that sued the state shortly after the map was enacted.<\/p>\n

A Florida judge previously rejected efforts to stop the map from taking effect. On Wednesday, the Florida Supreme Court upheld that decision in a 6-1 ruling, according to The Hill, refusing a request for a temporary injunction against the new districts. The ruling means the map will remain in place while other legal challenges continue.<\/p>\n

Opponents of the map wanted the court to require Florida election officials to continue using the congressional districts from the previous election cycle during the state\u2019s August primaries. The court\u00a0 declined that request.<\/p>\n
