A right-wing group called True the Vote set up and funded an operation that challenged the voter registration of 364,000 people in Georgia, targeting mostly people of color. A federal judge ruled that the operation did not violate the voter intimidation clause of the Voting Rights Act. The judge criticized that substance of the voter challenge methodology as cruel and unfair but said these were matters that should be corrected by the Georgia legislature -- which is gerrymandered to be in the control of Republicans who will not act to correct these injustices.
