Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp has called for a special session to redraw the state's congressional and legislative districts before the 2028 elections. This follows a recent Supreme Court ruling ending race-based gerrymandering. The special session is expected to focus on new maps that could take effect if Republicans lose power in the governor’s office or state legislature. The move comes as other Republican-led states across the South move to redrew their maps ahead of the November midterms. The Georgia Freedom Caucus, a state-level bloc of Republicans, celebrated the move, urging state lawmakers not to waste the opportunity. The Democratic Party criticized the move as it would undermine minority representation and energize its base.
