Atlanta: Governor Brian Kemp on Wednesday called a special legislative session to convene at 2 p.m. on June 17 to consider redrawing Georgia’s congressional and legislative districts for the 2028 elections and to resolve a voting-tabulation issue for the November midterms following the Supreme Court’s April Louisiana v. Callais decision. Protesters marched to the State Capitol this Thursday, citing concerns the redraw could break up majority-Black districts and weaken Black voting power; activists and groups such as Georgia Voices United and Black Voters Matter issued statements. Lawmakers will also pick a new tabulation method after a 2024 statewide QR-code ban, with state leaders and legislators set to meet June 17.
