Challengers are telling a federal judge that Georgia Republican state lawmakers' new voting districts don't cure illegal vote dilution and should be rejected. But the state of Georgia told the judge Wednesday that new congressional and state legislative maps comply with a court order to draw new Black-majority districts, even if the plaintiffs don't like Republicans' partisan choices.

Alabama is once again asking the Supreme Court to let it keep Republican-drawn congressional districts. In essence, the state is fighting a court order that the high court upheld just months ago.
