You might have missed it, but Florida won a solid victory for election integrity yesterday in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals
The left tried to strike down Florida's election integrity law, SB 90
They already lost on appeal, and now rehearing en banc has been denied

Just to quickly explain:
When a case is first appealed to a federal circuit court, it is heard by a three-judge panel
The party that loses that appeal can ask the entire circuit court to rehear the case "en banc," with all active judges on the circuit presiding

So that's what happened here
A district court judge struck down SB 90 last year
Earlier this year, the 11th circuit reversed
Yesterday, rehearing en banc was denied, with a cutting opinion from Judge Pryor that will help other states defend their election integrity laws

Pulling no punches, Judge Pryor called the dissent "histrionic."
He then explained how the district court screwed up: by imputing ancient discriminatory intent to Florida's current legislature, ignoring the clear rationale for these laws, and for basic statistical errors
You can check out the opinion for yourself - it's not a long read
