Florida Justices react skeptically to redistricting amendment
Florida's high court heard arguments on three separate constitutional amendments drafted by the Legislature and removed from the Nov. 2 ballot because judges found them misleading.....Leon County Circuit Judge James Shelfer concluded last month that Amendment 7 was misleading, noting it took him three days to figure out that the amendment would supersede every other standard for redistricting. Specifically, it would allow lawmakers to lump together in districts communities of racial and language-minorities, as well as "communities of common interest."
