A federal court will hear arguments this week in Rep. Corrine Brown’s battle against a redistricting plan that would force her to run in a dramatically reshaped district stretching across 200 miles of North Florida.

Brown is seeking an injunction that would block the state from using the new Congressional District 5, arguing that it violates the federal Voting Rights Act and would harm the ability of black to elect a candidate of their choice. A three-judge panel is scheduled to hear arguments March 25 in U.S. District Court in Tallahassee.
