Submitted by Nancy Smith on August 11, 2014 - 5:21pm

Moving to quickly end a special legislative session, the Florida Senate on Monday voted 25-12 to approve a new congressional map, according to the News Service of Florida. The move came after Leon County Circuit Judge Terry Lewis last month ruled that a map approved in 2012 violated anti-gerrymandering requirements in the Florida Constitution.

The Florida House continued to consider the revised map Monday afternoon.
