TALLAHASSEE(CBSMiami/NSF) – As a new round of legal battling begins about congressional redistricting, the state is asking a federal court to dismiss a lawsuit that has urged judges to draw new district lines.
Attorneys for Secretary of State Laurel Lee filed a motion Friday that said the federal lawsuit, which was filed March 11, is moot. The motion came shortly after Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a congressional redistricting plan that lawmakers passed last week in a special legislative session.
