Georgia Legislature may gain more Dems if judge rules GOP map illegally weakened Black voting power
Fox News
If a judge rules that Georgia’s current Republican-drawn congressional map weakens Black voting power, Democrats may gain more seats in the state General Assembly.
The Voting Rights Act says voting district lines can't result in discriminatory effects against minority voters, who must be allowed a chance to elect candidates of their choosing.
Court cases challenging district lines drawn after the 2020 Census could shape 2024 congressional elections in states beyond Alabama and Georgia, including Florida, Louisiana, South Carolina and Texas. Taken as a whole, those cases could affect the narrow hold Republicans have on the U.S. House.
