Democratic Party of Georgia Statement on Georgia Republicans’ Proposed Congressional Map

Today, Republicans in the Georgia General Assembly released their proposed congressional map, just hours before they plan to bring it to the floor for debate. In response, Scott Hogan, Executive Director of the Democratic Party of Georgia, released the following statement:

“The congressional map Republicans have proposed is a slap in the face to Georgia voters. In drawing a congressional map that disproportionately advantages one political party and diminishes the voting strength of people of color, Republicans are once again silencing millions of Georgians’ voices for the sake of holding on to power. 

“Republicans are scared to death of Georgia voters, and they know the only way they can win is by rigging the system. Georgians deserve better, and Democrats will not stop fighting for fair maps that reflect our state.”
