Georgia Republicans pulled back on plans to redraw the state’s congressional map during a special legislative session that began Wednesday, the day after primary runoffs set up high-stakes fall races for Senate, governor and other statewide offices.
Republican Gov. Brian Kemp last month called a special session to address the state’s congressional boundaries, with an eye on making changes ahead of the 2028 elections. The move came as several states are reconsidering their House maps after a Supreme Court ruling that limited the use of race in drawing congressional districts.
