The frontrunner in Jacksonville's special election for sheriff, T.K. Waters, is registered to vote in Nocatee. But he doesn't actually live there. Could the DeSantis-endorsed candidate for Jacksonville sheriff have committed voter fraud?

BREAKING: A Tallahassee judge is actively ruling from the bench against the Florida congressional districts in North Florida, agreeing that it diminishes Black voters' power. He's still in the wind-up of his ruling, but he's made clear he's ruling against the NE FL districts.

Smith concedes that a future court may rule that complying with the non-diminishment standard may violate the Equal-Protection clause, but that would be a new precedent and needs to be determined by a higher court.

A corrective to the narrative about Florida. Miami-Dade didn't lose it for Biden. Even if Biden kept Clinton's Dade margins, he would've lost because he performed worse nearly everywhere, except NE Florida & Orlando area.

Last week, Gov. @RonDeSantis made a stark admission: his congressional map diminished Black voting power. Now the governor's lawyers are setting their sights on getting a court to strike down voter-approved protections that mirror the Voting Rights Act.

Ron DeSantis' redistricting court strategy: attack the Voting Rights Act

If Ron DeSantis gets his way, Florida courts would go further than the U.S. Supreme Court and open the door to Florida’s case being used to dismantle minority voting protections.
