  1. Gov #BrianKemp, a #Republican, responded on by calling a special session of the #Georgia Gen Assembly that will begin on Nov29, giving lawmakers 10 days to meet a Dec8 deadline.

  2. The fundamentals of the 2024 campaign are still taking shape, but one thing is already clear: A flurry of #court actions might cost #Republicans the #House majority.

    In the past 9 days, #state & #federal judges threw out 2 #CongressionalMaps — & helped #Democrats avoid a worst-case scenario in Ohio — kicking off an unusually busy #redistricting calendar heading into the #election year.

  3. #Republican #Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey, defending her state’s defiance of federal court orders to redraw #congressionalmaps, evokes #civilrights-era comments frequently made by pro-#segregation whites.

    Ivey's comments criticizing federal courts and "activist groups” reads like an airbrushed, modern version of a letter writer's #racist bleat from 1958 in the Shreveport Journal.

    IOW, people just don’t understand the southerners’ way of life.
