A three-judge panel for the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia is allowing a case challenging Georgia’s racially gerrymandered congressional district map to move forward. The case, brought by several Georgia voters, Common Cause Georgia and the League of Women Voters of Georgia will go to trial in November.

“It’s no surprise Georgia received failing grades for redistricting when voters were shut out at almost every point of the process,” said Aunna Dennis, Common Cause Georgia executive director.

The report's release gives needed transparency to Georgians affected by the egregious attempt by Donald Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

Common Cause Georgia supports the city of Atlanta accepting and processing the signatures of the more than 104,000 people. Those registered voters who sign it will now also be considered active voters.

"Today’s indictment is a necessary step to holding former President Donald Trump and his associates accountable for the calculated and immoral attempt to reject the will of Georgia voters in the 2020 election."

True the Vote, a Texas-based group that has pursued widely-disproven election conspiracy theories, was sued this week by the Georgia State Election Board for failing to provide information to the state board.
