“A federal judge upheld Georgia’s new political districts that preserve Republican power, ruling Thursday that state legislators ‘fully complied’ with his order to create more districts with a majority of Black voters,” the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.
“The decision leaves in place political maps safeguarding the Republican Party’s 9-5 advantage in Georgia’s U.S. House delegation and its majorities in the General Assembly. These district lines will likely be used in next year’s elections.”
“U.S. District Judge Steve Jones rejected claims that Republican legislators violated his October ruling that threw out the state’s redistricting two years ago.”
