Mid-decade redistricting in Florida was all but inevitable once Donald Trump made partisan map-drawing a national priority. I’m a political scientist, and my research focuses on voting and elections. I’ve served as an expert in redistricting cases in Florida, and I’ve been tracking Florida voters’ opinions on DeSantis’ 2026 redistricting efforts.

The vote came just two days after Gov. Ron DeSantis unveiled his proposal and the same day that the U.S. Supreme Court rolled back a key provision of the Voting Rights Act. The decision could make it harder for Democrats to challenge Republican efforts to redraw congressional districts in ways that limit the influence of nonwhite voters.

The Supreme Court has struck down Louisiana’s second majority Black congressional district in a decision that could open the door for Republican-led states to eliminate Black and Latino electoral districts that tend to favor Democrats.

DeSantis’ new map is likely to add as many as four Republican congressional seats to the 20 out of 28 that they now hold in Florida. DeSantis only began speaking about redistricting after President Donald Trump last year called on red states to change their congressional maps to aid Republicans in the 2026 midterm elections.

"It is against the constitution to redraw maps in favor of a party." Is it? Mid-decade redistricting wouldn’t be illegal, but doing it to intentionally benefit one political party would be, law professors told PolitiFact.

DeSantis originally called the session to produce new maps for the U.S. House in an unusual mid-decade redistricting in January and it's scheduled to start Monday.
