The Florida Supreme Court left the state’s Republican-drawn congressional map in place on June 10, 2026, ahead of the midterm elections. The continuing controversy involves the state constitution’s Fair Districts standards, minority representation, partisan advantage, and whether lawmakers should alter districts between decennial censuses. Mid-decade redistricting means replacing congressional or legislative boundaries after an election cycle but before the next census-based redistricting process. Districts sometimes need correction, but letting the governing party redraw them whenever political conditions change turns representation into a moving target.
When should Florida be allowed to redraw congressional districts before the next census?
