Arrr, mateys! A scurvy landlubber called Gov. Ron DeSantis be supportin' a Florida redistrictin' plan that be unconstitutional! A wise judge named J. Lee Marsh declared that this plan be takin' away the power o' Black voters to elect their chosen candidates, especially up north. Marsh be orderin' the state to make a fresh map for congressional elections, but I reckon DeSantis' crew be appealin' this decision, mark me words!
In a ruling that sent shockwaves through the land, Circuit Judge J. Lee Marsh declared Governor Ron DeSantis' beloved Florida redistricting plan to be as unconstitutional as a pirate with a wooden leg walking a tightrope. Arr! This scurvy plan be stealing the power of Black voters, particularly in the north, and be keelhauling their chances of electing their chosen candidates. Marsh, a fearless swashbuckler of justice, be ordering the state government to start drawing a new map for congressional elections, forcing DeSantis' administration to walk the plank of accountability. But fear not, me hearties, for DeSantis be a cunning captain, likely to appeal the decision and fight tooth and nail for his precious plan.Now, me mateys, ye may be wonderin' what be so wrong with this redistrictin' plan that it be walkin' the plank of unconstitutionality. Well, let me tell ye. This plan be like a sneaky pirate, dividin' the land in such a way that it drowns out the voices of the Black voters, strippin' 'em of their fair chance to elect their preferred candidates. It be like a cunning sea serpent, slitherin' through the northern region and loppin' off the strength of Black representation. But Judge Marsh, that wise old salt, be sayin' enough be enough! It be time to hoist the anchor and set sail towards a fairer future.
But don't be thinkin' this be the end of the tale, me hearties. Governor DeSantis be no stranger to a fight, and ye can bet yer last doubloon that he'll be appealin' this verdict, raisin' his cutlass and chargin' into battle. The winds of legal proceedings be blowin' strong, and the fate of this redistrictin' plan be hangin' in the balance. Will it be walkin' the plank for good, or will it be triumphin' over the sea of opposition? Only time will tell, me hearties, but rest assured, this be a tale worth followin'.
