Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed into law a newly-passed congressional map that gives his fellow Republicans four pickup opportunities in this fall’s midterm elections.
A spokeswoman for DeSantis confirmed his action Monday after he posted a photo of the map on social media with the message: “Signed, Sealed, and Delivered.”
The Republican-led legislature approved the new map in a special session last week, making Florida the latest state to redraw its congressional lines ahead of the midterms. And more are expected to follow with a flurry of Southern states weighing new maps in light of last week’s Supreme Court ruling that significantly weakened the Voting Rights Act.
