A federal judge in Florida tossed out Miami’s city district maps on Wednesday, ruling that the city racially gerrymandered for decades, throwing the electoral future of the city into question.
A group of civil rights groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and NAACP, sued Miami in 2022, claiming that its makeup of council districts illegally segregated residents because the city explicitly sorted districts by ethnic makeup.
Judge Michael Moore agreed in his ruling Wednesday.
That or keep submitting different but equally racially gerrymandered maps until you run out of time and “Whoops, guess we gotta use one of the pile of racist ones”
