@sacramentourbanmedia916: Florida Governor #RonDeSantis announced Wednesday that he is calling lawmakers back to Tallahassee for a special session in April to reconsider the state’s congressional boundaries, adding Florida to a growing push by Republican-led states to revisit redistricting. Although the state’s regular 2026 legislative session begins next week, DeSantis said he prefers to wait for an expected U.S. Supreme Court decision that could significantly affect federal voting law. The case, Louisiana v. Callais, centers on whether Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act—which prohibits voting practices that discriminate based on race—remains constitutional. DeSantis said a ruling from the high court could prompt changes to “one or two” Florida congressional districts. “At this point, it’s not a matter of whether the court will rule, but how broad that ruling will be,” DeSantis said during a news conference in Steinhatchee. “We’re positioning ourselves in advance.” Republicans currently control 20 of Florida’s 28 seats in the U.S. House. Any redraw that strengthens GOP-held districts could have national implications, potentially supporting President Donald Trump’s broader strategy to revise congressional maps in Republican-controlled states. Such moves could help the party gain seats in upcoming midterm elections and maintain its narrow majority in the U.S. House.#fyp #viral
