‘Prepared for the worst’: Black lawmakers brace for losses as Georgia GOP eyes new political maps

Black lawmakers in Georgia are preparing for potential losses as the state's GOP aims to redraw political maps, which could significantly alter the state's political landscape for years to come. This comes after a special legislative session is set to begin following the recent runoff election, marking the third time in three years that Georgia is revisiting its district lines. The stakes are high as these changes could impact representation and influence future elections, raising concerns about fair representation and the potential for gerrymandering.
