Florida court allows use of new US House districts drawn by Republicans for midterm elections

The Florida Supreme Court allowed new U.S. House districts drawn by Republicans to be used in the midterm elections, denying a request for a temporary injunction in a 6-1 decision. Opponents argue the districts violate a state constitutional ban on partisan gerrymandering, but the court declined to rule on the case's merits, stating it lacked jurisdiction to intervene while the lawsuit proceeds in lower courts.
