A federal court rejected for a second time the Jacksonville City Council’s redistricting plan, finding that the new plan passed by the council didn’t fix the racial gerrymandering that led the court to strike down a prior map.
Instead, U.S. District Judge Marcia Morales Howard said the city must use the P3 redistricting plandrawn by the plaintiffs who sued the city. Plaintiffs had said they preferred the P1and P2 maps.
