Special Georgia Legislative Session: June 17th

This special session was called by Governor Brian Kemp to consider redrawing Georgia legislative maps. This action is a result of the Louisiana v. Callais Supreme Court decision.
 
The decision in the case of Louisiana v. Callais weakens the 1965 Voting Rights Act that prevented racial gerrymandering, saying now redistricting done by party lines does not violate the protections of the act.
 

In Justice Samuel Alito’s words, the court will more or less “turn a blind eye” toward partisan gerrymandering, according to Bernard Fraga, which gives many states the opportunity to now redraw their districts and break up voting blocks without violating the Voting Rights Act. Bernard Fraga, a political scientist, author and professor at Emory University in Atlanta told USA TODAY in an interview.
