A federal judge is accepting new Georgia congressional and legislative voting districts drawn by Republican lawmakers. U.S. District Judge Steve Jones on Thursday rejected claims that the new maps didn't cure illegal vote dilution and should be rejected. Jones says he can't interfere with legislative choices, even if Republicans moved to protect their power. The maps were redrawn in a recent special legislative session after Jones in October ruled that a prior set of maps illegally harmed Black voters. The approval of the maps sets the stage for them to be used in 2024 elections. They’re likely to reproduce the current 9-5 Republican majority among Georgia’s 14 congressional seats.

Lawyers for former President Donald Trump say he will not seek to get his Georgia election interference case transferred to federal court. The revelation in a court filing Thursday comes three weeks after a judge rejected a similar attempt by Trump's White House chief of staff. Trump pleaded not guilty to the charges alleging he illegally sought to overturn the results of the 2020 election. A venue change would not have meant that a reelected Trump could have pardoned himself because any conviction would have still happened under state law. It would have, however, broadened the jury pool and meant that a trial would not be photographed or televised.
