Breaking: Florida judge strikes down congressional map as to #FL4/#FL5 only. He is setting the case for immediate appeal, possibly directly to the FL Supreme Court and bypassing intermediate court.
This ruling isn’t unexpected: the Florida SC ruled that the old #FL5 was mandated by the Fair Districts act, which was the only claim the plaintiffs made here. A trial court can’t overrule the Supreme Court.
As in New York, we’re getting a quick appeal in Florida. There are 3 options now:
1. FL SC can affirm that the old #FL5 is required
2. FL SC can overrule itself and deem the old #FL5 an illegal gerrymander
3. FL SC can punt to ‘24 and use the DeSantis map for ‘22

A reminder that Matt Isbell argued in 2015 that #FL5 was an illegal gerrymander that would not aid the interests of Black voters. Now, of course, he's arguing exactly the opposite because the district would help his party instead of hurting it.

He's hoping you won't notice that.
Matt's arguments back then were designed to save a white Democrat, Gwen Graham, who held a version of #FL2 roughly identical to what Florida R's just enacted.

Because Dems can no longer win that #FL2, Matt has forgotten all of the concerns he raised in 2015.
Of course, when we forecasted back in January everything that has since happened in FL redistricting, Matt brushed off our analysis as hackery.

This is where we remind you we're volunteers, and Matt is supposed to understand FL politics for a living.

Let's do a quick thread on #FL5, the most litigated district in the history of Election Twitter! We'll try to give some context to what @RonDeSantisFL is likely getting at when he argues the district--and thus the map that passed the Florida Senate today--is illegal. 1/x
#FL5, like most of America's ugliest racial gerrymanders, has its roots in the '92 redistricting cycle. The Bush 41 DOJ took a then-prevailing, but since-discredited, view of the VRA that required states to aggressively gerrymander to maximize the Black population in VRA seats 2/
The Bush DOJ pressured Southern states--mostly still run by Democrats--to break up 35-40% Black seats that were Black enough to elect a D, but white enough to ensure that D was white. This led to significant opportunity for Black D's and white R's at the expense of white D's. 3/
