• Florida court allows new Republican-friendly congressional map to remain in place despite gerrymandering lawsuit — Judge Joshua Hawkes of Florida's Second Judicial Circuit ruled that voting rights groups challenging the state's new congressional map had not sufficiently proven partisan intent, allowing the map to remain in effect during the 2026 midterm elections. The map, drawn by DeSantis aide Jason Poreda, eliminates Democratic-held districts in south Florida, Tampa Bay, and Orlando, reducing Democratic-favored seats from eight to four of Florida's 28 districts. The judge cited election timing and public interest in certainty over judicial intervention.
