The city wants to see its remedial map put back in place.
That’s the map that was drawn after city council’s first map was struck down by a federal judge for packing Black voters into four districts.Originally, Duval Supervisor of Elections Mike Hogan told the court it needed a map in place by December 16th to be able to prepare for the March Election. In the new court filing Hogan asks for the map to be changed by January 6th at the latest.That’s only three days before candidate qualifying begins.
“If you switch out and say, okay we’re gonna go back to the old city council map, you’ve got all of those files, all of those lines, all of those addresses. All of that stuff should be ready to go. Just hit a button and you’re running,” said Binder.
