A Florida appeals court reinstated a GOP-friendly map Friday signed by GovRonDeSantis, overturning a prior ruling blocking the map from taking effect.
The 1st District Court of Appeals put a stay on a prior court injunction as it evaluates that decision, allowing the map to go back into effect amid a legal battle over the state's congressional apportionment that could head to the Florida Supreme Court.
But the court signaled it may be poised to nix the entire ruling, noting there was a"high likelihood" the order was"unlawful." The ruling is the latest in a string of head-spinning back-and-forth battles over the map. Last week, a judge issued a temporary injunction and ordered the state to use a new map that restored the state's 5th Congressional District. DeSantis fought with fellow Republicans in the state legislature to change the 5th Congressional District, which he decried as racially gerrymandered.
