"Can redistricting be brought up again in GA without the supervision of the federal courts?"

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!

The Voting Rights Act also covers redistricting of the state legislatures, not just the congressional seats. It even covers county commission and city councils. There are real restrictions on the freedom of southern states to handle their own districting.
