New York Times Covers Georgia Redistricting Pause

The New York Times reports:

Republicans in the Georgia State Legislature, facing mounting anger from Black leaders, scuttled plans to take up redistricting on Wednesday during a special session that had been called expressly to erase U.S. House seats in majority-Black districts.

“This is a victory, for now,” State Representative Saira Draper, a Democrat, said in an interview on Wednesday. “Certainly, it’s a very exciting moment. It shows that political civic engagement works when the people are paying attention and responding.”
