'The people of Georgia deserve far better than these unfair, racially discriminatory electoral maps, and we won't stop fighting until they are blocked.'
Georgia has enacted new state House and state Senate district lines, concluding its once-in-a-decade redistricting process. The state's new maps systematically water down the political strength of Black Georgians, ensuring that despite the tremendous growth in Georgia's Black population, Black voters in Georgia will have few, if any, new political opportunities in their state's House and Senate.
Georgia is one of the fastest growing states in the nation, and that growth has been driven entirely by Black Georgians and other Georgians of color. The growth of the state's Black and other minority communities is driving Georgia's continued economic expansion and its increasing prominence on the national stage. It is also changing the face of politics in Georgia.
These lines ensure that Black Georgians in the affected areas will be outvoted by white majorities, rather than included with their neighbors in new majority-Black districts. Thus, despite their communities' growth over the past decade, Black Georgians will have few new political opportunities in the state legislature under the new maps.
