Georgia lawmakers plan to redraw district lines, even as dispute over current maps remains unsettled

Georgia lawmakers plan to redraw congressional and legislative district lines during a special session, amid ongoing legal disputes over current maps. A 2023 federal court order required new maps to protect Black voting power, but appeals remain pending. The U.S. Supreme Court's April ruling in Louisiana v. Callais weakened the Voting Rights Act, potentially allowing partisan gerrymandering.
