A federal appeals court ruled in favor of Georgia Republicans on Tuesday, saying that a GOP-backed congressional map deserved a reevaluation following the Supreme Court’s Louisiana v. Callais decision.

The appeals court’s Tuesday ruling asked Northern District of Georgia Judge Steve Jones to reconsider his October 2023 ruling, in which he ordered the state to redraw its 2021 congressional map to include a second black-majority district. Jones said that the Republican congressional map diluted minority voting power.
