Florida just got a huge win in the courts and it impacts the entire country.

The state of Florida just scored a huge win in the state’s court of appeals and it directly impacts the entire country. As you might have imagined, it has everything to do with their new redistricting maps for the House of Representatives.
‘The First District Court of Appeals today reversed an earlier decision that struck down the state’s new redistricting maps based on race, claiming it infringed on a black voter’s right to pick a representative of their choice and violated state law.
The en banc reversal was overwhelming, with 8 judges voting for the reversal and only 2 objecting.
Here’s more from Florida’s Voice:
The First District Court of Appeals upheld Florida’s congressional map after a prior court struck it down over concerns about violating racial representation requirements as outlined in Florida law.
It said that the prior decision striking down the new map falsely placed “a racial segregation mandate” into Florida’s constitution.
In the prior ruling, Circuit Judge J. Lee Marsh declared the map reduces the ability of Black voters to pick a representative of their choice in North Florida.
In Friday’s ruling, the court ruled that the prior decision ran contradictory to the Florida Constitution.
“The constitution cannot demand that all voters are treated equally without regard to race and at the same time demand that voters are treated differently based on race,” the ruling said.
The new map got rid of a minority district that spanned a large portion of the northern part of the state.
“The districts cannot be drawn to diminish an individual racial-minority-voter’s ability to elect a representative of choice as compared to an individual non-racial minority-voter,” the ruling said. “This is ultimately accomplished by ensuring all voters are treated equally without regard to race.”
The court concluded that the equal protection language in the Florida Constitution contains an “express prohibition on the consideration of race.”
“We are therefore correct to reverse the final order and remand to the trial court,” it said.
The case is between Florida Secretary of State Cord Byrd and the Florida Legislature, and a variety of activists and activist organizations like Black Voters Matter Capacity Building Institute and the League of Women Voters of Florida.’
Remember, this is a redistricting map that Governor DeSantis created after the legislature failed.
As a reminder, the top part of the state went from this gerrymandered mess:
