DeSantis's racist redistricting map rejected by Florida judge: it "diminishes African Americans' ability to elect the representatives of their choice"
Governor Ron DeSantis wants to redistrict the state to eliminate a black-majority district that elects a black Democract to Congress. A judge tossed it, describing the gerrymander's purpose in clear terms.
I am finding that the enacted map is unconstitutional under the Fair District amendment because it diminishes African Americans' ability to elect the representatives of their choice," Leon County Circuit Judge Layne Smith said.
