CASE SUMMARY

On March 11, 2022, several Florida voters filed a lawsuit against Florida’s Secretary of State and Attorney General arguing the state had failed to enact a new congressional redistricting plan following the 2020 Census, the Governor and state legislature were unlikely to enact a plan in time for the 2022 primary elections, and the state’s current plan, enacted in 2015, was now unconstitutionally malapportioned in violation of the one person, one vote constitutional requirement and contained the wrong number of congressional seat in violation of 2 U.S.C. § 2(c). They sought a judicial declaration the 2015 plan was unconstitutional, an injunction barring its use in future elections, and for the court to adopt a new, lawful congressional plan.

  • On April 12, 2022, the Leon County Circuit Court granted the plaintiffs’ request to voluntarily dismiss the case.
