Georgia 2020 Redistricting Discussion

[MaxQue]

TLDR for this thread: The GAGOP can draw 10 Safe R districts. There's no incentive for them not to. The only remaining question is whether it's Bishop that gets cut and McBath packed, or vice versa.

There, are we done?

No, because you totally ignore the fact population distribution changed since 2010.

This Map is going to get struck down too?

What would be the New Map?

We won't know until September, but that's the most likely result.
The new map should be an extra black seat in Atlanta (and most likely an extra D seat, as you would still need a seat to house all the white areas of Atlanta).

With the LA ruling I suppose it is likely GA gets an another black Seat?

There was a separate ruling in GA requiring the same, thus the flurry of posts here recently.

yes, but to add, the LA ruling has no or almost no bearing on the GA case. One is under the authority of the 5th, the other the 11th. The only connecting thread is that Milligan and subsequent Supreme Court orders means that both are forced into a position they did not expect to be in, and can't easily wiggle out of.

The 5th is more conservative than the 11th right?

Yes. Also, Georgia did not appeal the decision, for some reason.

Why didn't they comply with court orders ? GA republicans have so much to lose to have a Map being drawn by the courts.

In the case of the Senate, it's because the state senators who would be redistricted out are the Senate leadership.
