In a move that could reshape the balance of power in Washington ahead of November’s critical midterm elections, Florida’s state legislature has passed new congressional boundaries designed to give Republican candidates a significant advantage, potentially allowing the GOP to flip as many as four seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. The approval comes just hours after the U.S. Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling that restricted how much consideration state lawmakers can give to a jurisdiction’s racial makeup when drawing voting districts, a decision that weakened key provisions of the historic Voting Rights Act and opened the door for widespread partisan redistricting across the American South.
