Can redistricting be brought up again in GA without the supervision of the federal courts? Remember, GA is limited in its redistricting potential because it is one of those states covered by the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

It's the redistricting of the state legislature that's being discussed, not the congressional districts. Barnes attempted to make the Repubs extinct in the state senate. What goes around is coming around. BIG TIME!

I have rarely heard of new redistricting plans being brought up just because the "out" party wins control of a state's legislature. And besides, the GA "democracy" still controls the Carter-like state House.
