Florida's state lawmakers are a step closer to coming up with the state's new Congressional map.
The new map was passed in committees Friday during the special session. Next week the map will go before the full Florida House and Senate for final approval.
If you look at the map, there are not a whole lot of changes from the current map, which a judge ruled was unconstitutional last month.
Lawmakers in both parties argue they don't have a lot of options. Critics are already predicting the new map won't hold up in court.
The Congressional map was thrown out because of two districts; District 5 runs from Jacksonville down to Orlando, while District 10 spreads out into Orange, Polk and Lake counties.
Even in the new map, District 5 is still oddly-shaped, not like the compact district now required by Florida law.
But Republicans and Democrats argue a different shape would weaken the African-American vote, and that would be a violation of Federal law.
The League of Women Voters sued the state, saying lawmakers need to do away with all the squiggly lines.
The League of Women Voters did not send a representative at Friday's legislative hearings.
