JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Florida Lawmakers returned to Tallahassee on Tuesday to begin a special session to approve a new congressional map, proposed by Gov. Ron DeSantis.
The Florida governor vetoed one of the legislatures approved, calling it “defective” and “unconstitutional.”
A Jacksonville group went to the state Capitol on Tuesday to deliver a message, saying the governor’s map will disenfranchise Black voters. Ben Frazier, with the Jacksonville Northside Coalition, said they plan to meet other groups in Tallahassee to rally on the Capitol steps.
