This case is before the Court for Approval of a final Congressional Redistricting plan in accordance with the Fair Districts Amendment and in accordance with previous opinion in League of Women Voters of Florida v. Detzner (Apportionment VII), 172 So. 3d 363 (Fla. 2015).
The court approves in full the trial court’s “Order Recommending Adoption of Remedial Map.”
The opinion today, the eighth concerning legislative or congressional apportionment during this decade since the adoption of the landmark Fair Districts Amendment, should bring much needed finality to litigation concerning this state’s congressional redistricting that has now spanned nearly four years in state courts.
Accordingly, the plan approved shall be used in the 2016 Congressional Elections and thereafter until the next decennial redistricting.
