Elecciones a la Cámara de Representantes de Estados Unidos de 2016 en Florida
El martes 8 de noviembre de 2016 se celebraron las elecciones a la Cámara de Representantes de los Estados Unidos de 2016 en Florida , para elegir a los 27 representantes estadounidenses del estado de Florida , uno por cada uno de los 27 distritos congresuales del estado. Las elecciones coincidieron con las elecciones de otros cargos federales y estatales, incluido el de presidente de los Estados Unidos .
En 2012 se presentó una demanda impugnando los distritos bajo la Enmienda de Límites de Distritos del Congreso de Florida (Enmienda de Distritos Justos), y se resolvió en 2015. Los resultados de la demanda tuvieron importantes repercusiones en las elecciones al Congreso de Florida en 2016. Las primarias se celebraron el 30 de agosto.
Demanda por redistribución de distritos
Esta imagen muestra los distritos del Congreso de Florida ordenados por la corte para el período 2016-2020. [1]
En 2014, el juez del Tribunal de Circuito Terry Lewis desestimó el mapa del Congreso por violar la Enmienda 6 de 2010 de la Constitución del estado de Florida, comúnmente llamada la Enmienda de Distritos Justos. [2] La sentencia se aplicó específicamente a FL-5 y FL-10 . Sentencias posteriores de tribunales superiores y que concluyeron en la Corte Suprema de Florida también anularon FL-13 , FL-21 , FL-22 y FL-26 , lo que también requirió rediseños de escala variable para los distritos que los rodean.
