GOP effort to add House seats in Florida through census lawsuit hits a snag

The court ruled the GOP lawsuit was filed past the four-year deadline but allowed an opportunity to amend and refile the challenge to Florida’s 2020 census count.

  • The three-judge panel gave the plaintiffs, including the Pinellas County Young Republicans and a Trump-backed gubernatorial candidate, a chance to amend and refile the suit.
  • The judges said the plaintiffs should have mounted their legal challenge within four years from when the statistical methods were used, but the suit was filed in September 2025.
