A federal judge in Arkansas said on Thursday he plans to dismiss a lawsuit claiming the new state House redistricting map reduces the influence of Black voters, according to reports.
He added that there was a "strong merits case" that some of the redrawn lines violate the Voting Rights Act but he said he planned to toss it unless the Justice Department becomes a plaintiff within a week.
The lawsuit was filed by the ACLU on behalf of the Arkansas Public Policy Panel and the Arkansas State Conference NAACP on Dec 29, according to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
