Democrats in Florida appear positioned to get another seat in the House after successfully resolving a mapping dispute involving the state's gerrymandering in favor of Republicans.

Florida and voting rights groups have been involved in a legal spat since last year over several voting district map redraws in the state, some of which they claim were changed unfavorably for black voters. The two parties agreed to focus on a singular district in Tallahassee with a majority black voter population. In doing so, the groups said they would drop their cases in other parts of the state.

"This is a promising step forward for Black voters whose voting power was disgracefully targeted by Governor DeSantis in his quest for artificial power," Olivia Mendoza, director of litigation and policy for the left-leaning National Redistricting Foundation, told the New York Sun. "Floridians deserve fair maps — and success in this case will deliver a major step in that direction."

The Florida GOP picked up four congressional seats last year when Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) redrew the state's districts, the current margin for the House majority. Republicans currently control 20 out of 28 House seats in Florida.

Florida is not the only state facing legal pressure for its maps favoring Republicans. Wisconsin was also sued after its Republican leadership attempted to change its congressional maps in a way that was unfavorable to Democrats. The state's decision to appoint a liberal state supreme court justice could offer a response to this.

Justice Janet Protasiewicz, appointed this year and made a liberal-majority supreme court in the state, made noise when she told PBS Wisconsin that she thought the maps were "rigged." This opinion makes it likely that she would support redrawing state maps to make them more equitable to Democrats.

New York is also dealing with a legal battle over redistricting. New York Courts are dealing with a challenge to the state's congressional maps that is expected to end with the liberal-leaning New York Court of Appeals ruling in favor of the maps being redrawn.
