Common Cause, Fair Districts Now argue Governor’s veto threat adds urgency to judicial process.
Progressive critics of the Florida Legislature’s redistricting process are filing suit in federal court — the second lawsuit filed about Florida’s congressional map before it reaches Gov. Ron DeSantis’ desk.
And like the first, it cites the Governor’s veto threat as additional judicial urgency.
