Redistricting Maps Drawn by the Florida Legislature
On February 9, the Legislature passed new congressional, state senate, and state house maps based on the 2010 Census and standards in federal and state law. The Attorney General petitioned the Florida Supreme Court to determine the validity of state senate and state house maps, as provided in in Art. III, s. 16(a) of the State Constitution. Documents relating to the Apportionment case are posted on the Florida Supreme Court's website.
