TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The Florida Supreme Court will not step into the fight over the state's 2026 congressional map.
The majority ruled that it cannot act while an appeal is still pending in a lower court. The current map stays in place as candidate qualifying continues this week and litigation moves forward.
One justice disagreed with the decision, citing the upcoming election timeline.
Plaintiffs argue the new congressional map blatantly violates an amendment in Florida's constitution.
