Orlando Sentinel: Florida appeals court backs redistricting plan DeSantis pushed through Legislature [[link removed]]
A Florida Appeals Court packed with Republican-nominated judges backed Ron DeSantis' vote-suppressing gerrymander, John, and it'll now be just a little bit harder for Democrats to re-take the U.S. House of Representatives, not to mention Black voters in Florida losing a representative.
North Florida went from at least having one Democrat to represent millions of voters to now a full slate of White MAGA men who owe their allegiance to Trump and DeSantis.
How did this happen? Literally every judge on this Florida state court of appeals was nominated by a Republican governor . When all you have are justices put in place by Jeb Bush, then-Republican Charlie Crist, and MAGA sycophants Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis.
Without progressive voices and Democratic judges, all Florida gets to hear is voter suppression. It desperately needs to change.

We NEED more progressives on the courts. Here's how:
➜ In 26 states -- including Florida, California, and Maine -- State Supreme Court justices are appointed. It's crucial that Democrats win and control governorships in these states to ensure progressive judges are nominated.
➜ In the other 22 states, like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, judges run in elections. We have to support progressive judicial candidates across the board to end the GOP domination of our state courts.
➜ We also need to pour resources into state legislatures who choose justices (like Virginia and South Carolina) or approve the judges nominated by the governors.

In the wake of Donald Trump's presidency, we've seen hard-right judges stacked on the Supreme Court, federal courts, and state courts across the country, delivering devastating rulings that have weakened voting rights, gun reforms, climate protections, and completely overturned abortion rights.
We must fight back and put more Democrats on the courts. [[link removed]]
The Senate is the only body which can confirm federal judges and as such, Democratic control of the Senate is crucial to shaping judicial appointments. We must ensure the Senate stays in Democratic hands in 2024.
And in the states, we must pour resources into often highly contested judicial races that get little attention, but that have a wide influence on the daily lives of Americans.
Progress Courts PAC is working every day to hold the Senate and help elect progressive judges across the country, and we need your help.
