A federal judge struck down Republican-drawn voting maps in Georgia, saying they violated the civil rights of Black voters.

The judge demanded that Georgia state legislators move quickly to adopt maps that provide equitable representation for Black residents, who make up more than a third of the state's population.

Hey MAGA's,

Because the higher courts are striking down Republican-drawn maps based on racial bias, North Carolina has decided to base their just-completed redrawn maps on political voting identity.....which in practice equates to the same thing. What they've done is herd Democratic voters together and spread out Republicans, which will.....if allowed to go into effect.....transform a balance into Republican overload.

"The map packs as many Democratic voters as possible into three blue districts, while distributing Republicans across the remaining districts to make sure they remain largely out of reach for Democrats. The maps were drawn so Republicans would hold a strong majority of the state's seats even in particularly bad years for the GOP.

The new map will remake the state's delegation from an even split of seven Democrats and seven Republicans to one that would likely lock in 10 Republicans and three Democrats, with one competitive battleground seat that Democratic Rep. Don Davis currently holds."
