\r\n\r\nThe lawsuit highlights both the long history of the white majority in Georgia using racial discrimination to maintain political power and the persistent need for the federal government to step in to ensure maps allocate political power in a way that does not violate federal law or the Constitution. The suit charges that the newly drawn congressional map violates the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution by intentionally denying Black communities in Georgia representation and therefore equal protection of the law.\r\n\r\nThe case,\u00a0<\/span>\uacf5\ud1b5 \uc6d0\uc778, \uc678. v. Brad Raffensperger, \uc678.<\/em><\/a>, was brought on behalf of Common Cause, the League of Women Voters of Georgia, and individual Georgians. They are being represented by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and Dechert LLP.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe Georgia legislature has \u2018cracked\u2019 and \u2018packed\u2019 communities of color in the congressional districts map, denying voters of color an equal voice in elections,\u201d said\u00a0SPLC\uc758 \uc218\uc11d \ubcc0\ud638\uc0ac\uc778 Jack Genberg<\/strong>. \u201cThis map must be remedied to prevent harm to Georgia\u2019s communities of color for years to come. These unlawful districts would diminish communities\u2019 ability to advocate for fair treatment and allocation of funds from their government.\u201d\r\n\r\n\u201cWe continue our longstanding commitment to ensuring all eligible voters are fairly represented and able to meaningfully participate in the political process without having their votes diluted,\u201d said\u00a0\ud558\ud2c0\ub9ac \uc6e8\uc2a4\ud2b8, Dechert, LLP\uc758 \ud30c\ud2b8\ub108.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n\ubd88\ub9cc \uc0ac\ud56d\uc5d0\uc11c\ub294 \ub2e4\uc74c\uacfc \uac19\uc774 \uc124\uba85\ud569\ub2c8\ub2e4.<\/u>\r\n
