Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., on Monday signed into a law a new slate of congressional maps that is expected to add several Republican-leaning seats to the state’s congressional delegation.”Signed, Sealed, and Delivered,” DeSantis posted on X, along with an image of the new slate of maps.
Last week, the state legislature approved the slate, following the governor convening a special session to redraw the maps. Florida’s redraw comes amid the Supreme Court’s ruling in a Louisiana redistricting case that saw the justices strike down race-based districts under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.
The ruling led to a string of redraws across the South, with Louisiana now redrawing its maps and Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee moving to follow suit.
