Obama-Appointed Judge Gives GOP A Big Victory In Georgia

Court of Law and Justice Trial Session: Imparcial Honorable Judge Pronouncing Sentence, striking Gavel. Focus on Mallet, Hammer. Cinematic Shot of Dramatic Not Guilty Verdict. Close-up Shot.

In a world full of corrupt judges appointed by democrats, it comes as a surprise when one rules in favor of republicans.

Wonders never cease I suppose.

An Obama-appointed judge just sided with the GOP on the redrawn congressional map in Georgia.

U.S. District Judge Steve Jones, who was appointed by former president Barack Obama back in 2011, approved the redrawn congressional maps after ordering that new ones be drawn back in October.

This was in reaction to a previous Supreme Court ruling concerning the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

Democrats argued that districts created back in 2021 discriminated against black voters.

The Republican-led General Assembly was tasked with creating new maps that contained additional majority-black districts.

In spite of objections from democrats, the GOP maps were approved by Jones.

This should allow republicans to maintain their 9-5 advantage with the 14 House seats.

Here’s the inside scoop from the Washington Examiner:

A federal judge in Georgia upheld the state’s newly approved congressional maps in a win for House Republicans, dealing a blow to Democrats who sought an opportunity to flip a seat in the Peach State next year.

U.S. District Judge Steve Jones approved the redrawn maps on Thursday, ruling the Republican-drawn boundaries sufficiently complied with the court’s previous order to include a second black-majority district in the state. The decision likely guarantees Republicans will preserve control over nine of the 14 House districts in the state as well as their majorities in the state legislature.

Daily Wire has more on the surprise move by U.S. District Judge Steve Jones:

U.S. District Judge Steve Jones had ordered new congressional maps to be drawn back in October, following the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on a case concerning black voters and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The judge found the new maps to be in compliance.

“The court finds that the general assembly fully complied with this court’s order requiring the creation of Black-majority districts in the regions of the state where vote dilution was found,” Jones wrote in his order.

The decision makes it likely that the GOP will maintain their 9-5 advantage with the state’s 14 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, Reuters reports.
