Protesters in Atlanta rally against Governor Brian Kemps plan for a special session to redraw congressional and state legislative districts, citing potential gerrymandering and dilution of Black-majority districts. The Supreme Courts recent ruling on the Voting Rights Act has paved the way for these changes, which could significantly impact the 2028 elections. Black Voters Matter warns of potential power shifts, while Georgia GOP chair Josh McKoon argues that the new maps fix previous racial gerrymandering. As lawmakers delve into the redraw, the political landscape in Georgia may see tighter races or major power grabs.
