US appeals court upholds Florida congressional map, reversing lower court ruling
The 1st U.S. District Court of Appeals upheld Florida’s congressional map on Friday, reversing a prior court's ruling over concerns that the map violated racial representation requirements as outlined in Florida law.
The previous ruling claimed that the congressional map reduces the ability of black voters to pick a representative in northern Florida. However, the appeals court determined the ruling had placed a “racial segregation mandate” into the Florida Constitution that did not exist.
“The constitution cannot demand that all voters are treated equally without regard to race and at the same time demand that voters are treated differently based on race,” the ruling said. “The districts cannot be drawn to diminish an individual racial-minority-voter’s ability to elect a representative of choice as compared to an individual non-racial minority-voter. This is ultimately accomplished by ensuring all voters are treated equally without regard to race.”
