A federal judge says some of Georgia’s congressional, state Senate and state House districts are racially discriminatory, ordering the state to draw an additional Black-majority congressional district
FILE - State Sen. John Kennedy, R-Macon, presents the newly-drawn congressional maps in the Senate Chambers during a special session at the Georgia State Capitol in Atlanta, Friday, Nov. 19, 2021. A federal judge ruled Thursday, Oct. 26, 2023, that some of Georgia's congressional, state Senate and state House districts were drawn in a racially discriminatory manner, ordering the state to draw an additional Black-majority congressional district.
Jones wrote that he would not allow the 2024 elections to be conducted using districts he has found to be “unlawful.” That would require a special session, as lawmakers aren’t scheduled to meet again until January. “I applaud the district court's decision ordering Georgia to draw maps compliant with the Voting Rights Act,” said state Senate Minority Leader Gloria Butler, a Stone Mountain Democrat. “We are eager to help pass fairer maps that comply with federal law.”
