Republicans in the Georgia General Assembly are planning to split Gwinnett County between four congressional districts in order to comply with a federal court ruling concerning congressional districts without sacrificing any GOP-held seats in the state’s congressional delegation.
The state Senate redistricting committee unveiled the GOP’s plan for congressional redistricting on Friday afternoon. One of the most notable part about the plan is how it splits Gwinnett up so there is no single district that includes a majority of the county and draws 7th Congressional District Rep. Lucy McBath, D-Ga., out our her Gwinnett-based district.
The Gwinnett Daily Post is a daily newspaper published in Gwinnett County, Georgia, and serves as the county's legal organ. The newspaper is owned by Times-Journal Inc. and prints Wednesday and Sunday each week.
