The courts ordered the Georgia state legislature to fix its gerrymandered map by creating a new majority-Black district. It did this by gutting a multiracial district currently represented by Rep. Lucy McBath (D-GA). Whether the judge will accept replacing a multiracial district with enough Black voters to elect a Black woman with a majority-minority district remains to be seen. The net effect of the new map is zilch. Republicans still have a 9-5 majority with the new map, same as the old map. It will be interesting to see if the judge is fooled. In the worst case (for the Republicans) the judge could appoint a special master to draw a completely new map from scratch with many competitive districts. The judge in the case is Steve Jones, who, in case it's relevant, is Black. (V)
