A Florida state judge has ruled that the redistricting plan proposed by Republican Governor Ron DeSantis and approved by the state legislature violates the state constitution and is prohibited from being used for any future U.S. congressional elections. The plan was challenged in court by voting rights groups, who argued that it would reduce the influence of Black voters in the state. The ruling is seen as a victory for those fighting for voting rights and fair representation in the state, and is expected to have a major impact on the 2022 congressional elections in Florida.
