Why would Georgia Republicans want to get rid of Greene?

And why would Democrats? National Dems love having MTG to tie to Republicans nationwide.

More short-sighted behavior from Dem activist groups who don't understand the idea of trends or care that too many majority-minority districts is VERY BAD for the party.

Under the old map, you could totally see GA-6 and GA-11 becoming a dummymander by 2028, 2030 and the state leg maps becoming a problem for the GOP like they did in Virginia in the late 2010s. Now this just lets the GOP re-gerrymander the state.

Even in 2022 Senate, the median state house district was like Walker +4 and Trump +9 in 2020. The fact that the median swung that much further to the left than the state as a whole from 2020-2022 is a sign the Dems could have eventually benefited.

And here come the people who just see the images and don't actually read the what the plaintiffs wanted or the courts order. Not directed at you but it constantly has happened this cycle.  And then these people are shocked when the court doesn't do what they expect. Cause the plaintiffs get to respond to the state's attempt, they always say that this fails to satisfy the conditions and relief detailed by the judges themselves,  and we end up with a master.

We don't know what the court will do or almost as importantly when they will do it. It might seem clear to us but when it comes down to it nobody here really knows. I'm no lawyer but to me it seems there is a relatively good chance any final resolution gets kicked past the 2024 elections and this map has at least some chance of being in effect for this cycle.

As expected.  I think some here mixed up adding more AA majority seats with adding more Democratic seats.
