Florida’s Secretary of State has appealed this weekend’s ruling, which found Florida’s congressional map unconstitutionally diminished Black voting power.
According to that appeal, this weekend’s ruling will automatically be put on hold.
UNF political science professor Dr. Michael Binder said under DeSantis’ map, Jacksonville ended up with two solidly Republican seats.”If you’re under the impression that generally speaking Black Jacksonville voters tend to be Democratic, and they do by enormous percentages, the odds of a Democrat getting elected in either one of these seats is almost zero,” said Binder.
”The major X-factor here is the Florida Supreme Court,” said Dr. Nick Seabrook, a UNF political science professor and redistricting expert.
