Georgia Redistricting Efforts Impact Black Voters
- President Trump's push to redistrict congressional maps in Georgia is aimed at diluting the power of the Black vote.
- Black voters are more likely to have been shifted into new congressional districts to create safer seats for Republicans.
- This effort is seen as a continuation of historical attempts to suppress the Black vote in the southern states.
- The Black community in Georgia is actively fighting back against these redistricting efforts.
- The redistricting is occurring six decades after the civil rights movement in Atlanta granted Blacks the right to vote.
