Georgia Republicans are beginning a redistricting session to redraw voting districts, potentially reducing political power for Black and nonwhite voters, following a Supreme Court decision that weakened Voting Rights Act protections. The session, called by outgoing Governor Brian Kemp, lacks proposed maps, frustrating Democrats and activists who demand transparency. The process could set a precedent for applying the court's ruling to state legislative maps in Southern states with high Black voter populations.
