Georgia Redistricting Debate - Contact State Senators NOW

As already mentioned in this post - Brian Kemp Brings Georgia into the Gerrymander Chaos - Georgia's Republican Governor, Brian Kemp, is calling for a special session to redraw district lines. Kemp said the move would not impact the 2026 midterm races, where early voting is already underway, but would be in effect for the 2028 election cycle.

This post expands on that a bit, but mostly, zeros in on state senate lawmakers to contact before they report to the capital to rig our elections.




Georgia lawmakers will return to Atlanta on June 17 to "consider enacting, revising, repealing, or amending general law for the division of the State into appropriate districts ... in light of the United States Supreme Court decision in Louisiana," Kemp's proclamation reads.  A recent U.S. Supreme Court decision (Louisiana v. Callais) weakened key protections under the Voting Rights Act.  That decision that made it so race cannot be used to redistrict and create majority-minority voting districts.  But apparently it's perfectly fine to redistrict to benefit a political party.

Lawmakers will also address looming changes to Georgia’s election system tied to a 2024 state law banning the use of ballot QR codes for official vote tabulation after July 1.

Ordinarily, states redraw district maps every 10 years after the census.  The Supreme Court decision set off a firestorm of redistricting with Texas leading the way with trump's encouragement.

Red states are redrawing lines to make it so minorities have less representation.
