The judge represented the Florida House on redistricting issues a decade ago.
Progressive groups suing Florida over its redistricting process have asked a federal judge to recuse himself from the case.
Plaintiffs in a federal lawsuit over congressional reapportionment filed a motion asserting Judge Allen Winsor must take himself off the case.

Winsor earlier this month was assigned to a three-judge panel to hear the case.
