ATLANTA โ A Republican-dominated legislative committee approved a new congressional map for Georgia Monday over objections that it doesnโt comply with a federal court order that found the current map violates the Voting Rights Act.
The proposed map, approved by the Senate Reapportionment and Redistricting Committee along party lines, would create an additional Black-majority district as U.S. District Judge Steve Jones ordered in an October ruling.
