someone correct me if i am wrong, but i think this marsh clown is of the same ilk who rule against desantis and then gets overruled on appeal.
So Black voters are somehow special enough to deserve their very own candidate (while the other demos aren’t)?
OK, then, let’s have Byron Donalds run in the new district in 2024. Let’s see how that sits.
Seems Judge Marsh is the culprit of the supremes appointed by Rick Scott. Why Scott appointed him I will never know. And, I’m a huge Rick Scott fan. But once again none of these guys are 100%. They keep proving it over and over.

A state judge on Saturday rejected congressional district boundaries affecting communities across North Florida, saying they unconstitutionally restrict Black voting power and that Florida’s Legislature must redraw them.
“By dismantling a congressional district that enabled Black voters to elect their candidates of choice under the previous plan, the enacted plan violates … the Florida Constitution,” Circuit Judge J. Lee Marsh in Tallahassee ruled.
In the 55-page ruling, he also noted that throughout history “Florida has been a state home to discrimination in voting.”
Marsh barred state officials from holding elections that use the current boundaries developed to replace the former Congressional District 5, whose seat was held by former U.S. Rep. Al Lawson.
