Allen Winsor worked as counsel to the Florida House last redistricting cycle.
A judge who counseled the Florida House on redistricting a decade ago won’t recuse himself from a map challenge now.
U.S District Judge Allen Winsor wrote that there’s no reason his work on behalf of the Florida Legislature before would impact rulings in a federal lawsuit regarding the ongoing redistricting process.
“This is a different case, featuring different issues, addressing a different map, in a different redistricting cycle — nearly a decade after I stopped working on redistricting matters,” Winsor wrote in an order issued Wednesday night.
