Florida Judge Rejects Voter Districts Favoring GOP

Florida’s congressional redistricting map, which opponents including the League of Women Voters said favors Republicans, was found by a judge to violate the state’s constitution and must be changed.

Circuit Judge Terry P. Lewis in Tallahassee ruled that two districts were drawn to benefit Republicans and needed to be revised. Seven other districts that had been challenged as invalid don’t need to be redrawn, the judge said.
