SPLC-backed coalition sues Florida over new congressional map it alleges is an unconstitutional gerrymander

A coalition of groups, including the Southern Poverty Law Center, Common Cause, and the League of Women Voters of Florida, is suing Florida over its new congressional map, alleging it favors one political party over another. The lawsuit claims the map violates the Fair Districts Amendment and disproportionately affects Black and Brown communities. The plaintiffs are seeking a judge to declare the map unconstitutional and impose an injunction.
