2012 United States House of Representatives elections in Florida

In November 2010, Florida voters passed two amendments to the Florida Constitution which would require congressional and state legislative districts to be compact and follow geographical boundaries, thereby preventing gerrymandering. Shortly after the amendments were passed, U.S. Representatives Corrine Brown and Mario Diaz-Balart filed a lawsuit asking that the amendment concerning congressional districts be declared invalid.{{cite web|url=http://www.theledger.com/article/20101103/NEWS/11035061/1410?Title=Lawsuits-Already-Filed-Over-District-Lines-Amendments|title=Lawsuits Already Filed Over District Lines Amendments|date=November 3, 2010|access-date=February 11, 2012|work=The Ledger|first=Carrie|last=Wells|archive-date=November 5, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101105141541/http://www.theledger.com/article/20101103/NEWS/11035061/1410?Title=Lawsuits-Already-Filed-Over-District-Lines-Amendments|url-status=dead}} Brown and Diaz-Balart alleged that the power to change rules for congressional redistricting lies exclusively with the state legislature, and as such cannot be changed through a referendum; however, in January 2012 a three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected their arguments.{{cite web|url=http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/01/31/2617184/appeals-court-upholds-fla-redistricting.html|title=Appeals court upholds Fla. redistricting amendment|date=January 31, 2012|access-date=February 11, 2012|work=The Miami Herald|first=Curt|last=Anderson}}{{Dead link|date=September 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}

Shortly after, the Florida Democratic Party announced it would file a lawsuit, alleging that the map violated the Fair Districts provision, which requires that maps do not intentionally favor parties or incumbents. Separately, a coalition of groups including Common Cause, the League of Women Voters and the National Council of La Raza announced it would file its own challenge on the legislation's being signed into law.{{cite web|url=http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/news_politics/2012/02/florida-legislatures-redistricting-work-moves-to-the-courtroom.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120701163321/http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/news_politics/2012/02/florida-legislatures-redistricting-work-moves-to-the-courtroom.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=July 1, 2012|title=Florida Legislature's redistricting work moves to the courtroom|date=February 9, 2012|access-date=February 11, 2012|work=Orlando Sentinel}}
