Supreme court declines to take up case alleging voter discrimination in Georgia

Public service commission, which establishes regulation and sets rates for utilities, accused of disenfranchising Black voters

Georgia has not held an election for its powerful public service commission for more than two years while a lawsuit alleging that the way commissioners are elected disenfranchises Black voters plays out.

On Monday, the US supreme court declined to hear the case, leaving an appeals court ruling in place and putting an end to further delays.
