Florida’s then-congressional map in part specifically because the 14th District crossed Tampa Bay.
It’s uncertain what the Florida Supreme Court will do here. On one hand, the court had no issues enforcing the Fair Districts amendment just seven years ago. On the other, four of the five justices who supported that ruling are now off the court — three of them replaced by DeSantis appointees. But then again, earlier this year, the courtfor a preemptive, advisory opinion into whether Lawson’s district was legal, an action that was interpreted as a setback for the governor.
