(The Center Square) — A federal trial over Georgia’s state legislative district maps is set to kick off next week in Atlanta.
In 2021, several Georgia residents and groups, including the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity and the Sixth District of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, filed suit against Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. They argued that the state’s legislative maps drafted in 2021 violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
