Democrats could gain a seat in the U.S. House and multiple seats in Georgia’s Legislature if a judge rules Republicans drew maps illegally weakening Black voters’ power.
The trial beginning Tuesday is part of a wave of litigation progressing after the U.S. Supreme Court earlier this yearThe 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.
The trial yokes together three different cases, meaning Jones could rule for the challengers in some instances and not others. “He found the plaintiffs had proven the elements of a Section 2 violation at that point,” Bullock said of the earlier ruling. The state, though, argues the plaintiffs haven’t proved voters act the way they do because of race, arguing partisanship is a stronger motivator.
“That’s a defense you can offer is what the plaintiffs want would require putting considerations of race above everything else," Bullock said.
