No Justice in Georgia- Lawsuit to dissolve cities

The Case

 

The State of Georgia has violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, the Fifteenth Amendment, as well as sections 2 and 5 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA). The state committed these violations by creating super-majority White neighborhoods and communities within previously existing local government bodies (Counties), in which, African-Americans have historically maintained dominant political control.

These “cities”, (Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Johns Creek, Milton, and Chattahoochee Hills) provide the exact same local government services and exercise the same government authority as the counties from which they were carved. By their creation, voting strength of African Americans within these cities has been diluted beyond the maximum Constitutional level and grossly in excess of the more restrictive provisions of the VRA. This has effectively taken the right to vote away from these African Americans.
The right to vote is fundamental to our American System, and to limit these individuals right to vote is unconstitutional and without justification.
