PBS reports on the decision rejecting a challenge to the DeSantis-backed plan, which eliminated a majority-Black district in northern Florida. Here’s the opening paragraph of today’s majority opinion in Black Voters Matter Capacity Building Institute v. Secretary, Florida Department of State:

This case involves a challenge to Florida’s 2022 congressional districting plan. The plaintiffs allege that the plan violates the Florida Constitution by failing to retain a two-hundred-mile-long congressional district encompassing several communities of black voters across North Florida. We uphold our state’s congressional districting plan, because the federal Equal Protection Clause prohibits the racially gerrymandered district that the plaintiffs demand.
