"Georgia Republicans' Proposal: Majority-Black Districts Aim to Minimize Losses"

Georgia Republicans are proposing a new map in a special session to comply with a federal court order to increase the number of Black-majority districts while minimizing their losses. The map would likely cost Republicans only two seats but create five more majority-Black districts that Democrats would be likely to win. Senate Republicans have also proposed a map that creates two additional Black-majority voting districts while retaining their current edge in the upper chamber. However, it remains unclear if the proposed changes to the congressional map, including dissolving the only congressional district held by a Democrat that's not majority-Black, would be legal.
