Georgia wanted to submit changes to there election districts and before any state changes a district they have to get permission from the "Department of Justice". They sent in two separate submissions and the DOJ turned both down. The third time they sent a submission in they got it approved. After the 1992 election there were several black candidates elected for congress and five white voters brought a suits against the state because they thought the redistricting was unconstitutional****. The district court decided that the redistricting was unconstitutional. 5. It meant that the redistricting was not fair to all the voters of Georgia.
