Appeals Court Overturns Ruling That Georgia's 2021 Redistricting Maps Violate Voting Rights Act

Georgia secured a major victory Tuesday in its long-running redistricting battle after a federal appeals court overturned a lower court ruling that the state's 2021 maps violated the Voting Rights Act, sending the issue back to the lower court for further consideration; the reversal marks a significant shift in the state's efforts to redraw congressional and legislative districts following the 2020 census.
