A federal judge has struck down Georgia’s political district maps and ordered state lawmakers to redraw them by Dec. 8, in a win for voting rights activists who argued the state’s maps dilute the power of Black voters.

In a ruling issued Thursday, U.S. District Court Judge Steve Jones wrote that Georgia’s congressional and legislative maps, which were redrawn by Republican lawmakers in 2021, violate Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.
