TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – In response to the Florida Legislature’s quick special session to push through new congressional districts months before the 2026 midterm elections take place, and years before the redistricting cycle as mandated by law, League of Women Voters of Florida President Jessica Lowe-Minor issued the following statement.
“The League of Women Voters of Florida is disappointed with the Supreme Court’s ruling in Louisiana v. Callais. However, it does not change the reality that, here in Florida, it is illegal to draw districts with the intent to favor or disfavor a political party. Despite the fig leaves that have been placed on mid-cycle redistricting, everyone can see that this is a partisan political power grab. The voters of Florida have repeatedly said they don’t like partisan gerrymandering. It’s really sad to see the voters’ will being ignored by the Governor and a majority of the state Legislature. Floridians deserve better.”
