Florida’s newly drawn congressional map, which has not yet been signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, has already resulted at least one lawsuit but is likely to be in place for the state’s August primaries and November general elections.

The Florida Senate on Wednesday, and House on Thursday, approved DeSantis’ proposed state congressional district map after three months of contention among Republican leaders over how to reapportion the state’s 27 districts into 28 newly configured districts.
