Public meetings on GA redistricting

Covered at the Republic.

“Lawmakers held a series of 12 public hearings around the state to gather input but did not answer questions. They have been busy behind closed doors working on maps that could be shown as soon as this week.  Monday night’s hearing was billed as nonpartisan but the crowd leaned heavily Democratic. Georgia is subject to the Voting Rights Act revised maps must receive approval from either the U.S. Department of Justice or the federal courts.”
