Georgia won’t redraw congressional map ahead of midterms, Kemp says

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp announced the state will not redraw congressional maps ahead of the 2024 midterms, rejecting calls to delay the May 19 primary. Kemp praised the Supreme Court's ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, which weakened the Voting Rights Act, but stated changes to Georgia's maps would only occur before the 2028 election. Other Southern states, including Louisiana and Tennessee, are pursuing last-minute redistricting changes under Republican leadership.
