The Florida Supreme Court ruled on June 10, 2026, that new US House districts drawn by Republicans can be used in the upcoming midterm elections. This decision is part of a broader redistricting effort by the GOP to maintain its slim majority in the House. Attorneys representing voters had argued that the new districts violate state constitutional rules against partisan gerrymandering and requested that the previous districts be used instead. However, the court, in a 6-1 decision, denied the request for a temporary injunction, stating that it lacked jurisdiction to intervene while the case proceeds in lower courts.
