With lawmakers heading into a special legislative session this month, Secretary of State Laurel Lee is asking a federal court to put on hold a case that argues judges should set Florida’s new congressional districts.
Lee filed a motion Friday in U.S. district court in Tallahassee seeking a stay of a federal lawsuit filed March 11 by the groups Common Cause Florida and FairDistricts Now and five voters.
Attorneys for Lee also pointed to a similar lawsuit filed last month in state court in Leon County. They said the state court — rather than the federal court — should handle reapportionment if the Legislature does not produce a congressional map. The state and federal lawsuits were filed after DeSantis said he would veto a congressional redistricting plan passed by the Legislature. Plaintiffs argued, in part, that an impasse between DeSantis and lawmakers jeopardized the chances of reaching agreement on a map — and that judges should step in to make sure revamped districts are set before this year’s elections.In a document filed Thursday, the plaintiffs in the federal lawsuit indicated they would oppose a stay.
