Lawyers for the city of Stockbridge, Georgia, claim in a federal lawsuit that a plan to carve off parts of the city to form a new, wealthier, whiter city impairs its citizens’ right to vote and harms the city’s ability to pay municipal bond obligations.

The lawsuit was filed Monday against the state of Georgia, Gov. Nathan Deal and other state officials. It comes just days after Capital One Public Funding—one of the nation’s largest issuers of municipal bonds—filed a similar lawsuit seeking to stop the referendum to create the new city of Eagles Landing from moving forward as planned in November.
