KEMP CALLS SPECIAL SESSION TO REDRAW GEORGIA'S VOTING MAPS
Governor moves to eliminate Black voting power after Supreme Court guts Voting Rights Act.

This follows Louisiana Republicans' successful effort to eliminate one of two majority-Black House seats. Georgia Republicans are now positioned to do the same—stripping Black voters of political representation under cover of a weakened Voting Rights Act.
