The History of Redistricting in Georgia
GEORGIA LAW REVIEW(DO NOT DELETE) 11/6/2018 8:33 PM THE HISTORY OF REDISTRICTING IN GEORGIA Charles S. Bullock III* In his memoirs, Chief Justice Earl Warren singled out the redistricting cases as the most significant decisions of his tenure on the Court.1 A review of the changes redistricting introduced in Georgia supports Warren’s assessment. Not only have the obligations to equalize populations across districts and to do so in a racially fair manner transformed the makeup of the state’s collegial bodies, Georgia has provided the setting for multiple cases that have defined the requirements to be met when designing districts. Other than the very first adjustments that occurred in the 1960s, changes in Georgia plans had to secure approval from the federal government pursuant to the Voting Rights Act. Also, the first four decades of the Redistricting Revolution occurred with a Democratic legislature and governor in place. Not surprisingly, the partisans in control of redistricting sought to protect their own and as that became difficult they employed more extreme measures. When in the minority, Republicans had no chance to enact plans on their own. Beginning in the 1980s and peaking a decade later, Republicans joined forces with black Democrats to devise alternatives to the proposals of white Democrats. The biracial, bipartisan coalition never had sufficient numbers to enact its ideas. After striking out in the legislature, African-Americans appealed to the U.S. Attorney General alleging that the plans enacted were less favorable to black interests than alternatives * Charles S. Bullock, III is a University Professor of Public and International Affairs at the University of Georgia where he holds the Richard B.

December 12, 2018 Michael R. Pompeo US
December 12, 2018 Michael R. Pompeo U.S. Department of State 2201 C Street NW Washington, DC 20520 Dear Secretary Pompeo: We write to express our deep concern about the potential deportation of thousands of Vietnamese refugees under pressure from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to change the terms of the current repatriation agreement between Vietnam and the United States.1 This longstanding agreement, which was signed by the U.S. and Vietnamese governments in 2008 under President George W. Bush, does not provide for the deportation of any Vietnamese citizens who arrived in the United States before July 12, 1995. [Article 2, Para. 2] Even for those who came to the U.S. after July 12, 1995, the agreement promises to “take into account the humanitarian aspect, family unity and circumstances” of each person being considered for repatriation and to carry out repatriation “in an orderly and safe way, and with respect for the individual human dignity of the person repatriated.” [Article I, Para. 1,3] The terms of this agreement recognize the complex history between the two countries and the dire circumstances under which hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese fled to the U.S. to seek refuge from political persecution in the aftermath of the Vietnam War. Many of those who fled were South Vietnamese who had fought alongside or otherwise supported the U.S. government during the war. Upon their arrival into the U.S., Vietnamese refugees, many of them young children or teenagers, were resettled in struggling neighborhoods without support or resources to cope with significant trauma from the war.

LEGISLATIVE SCORECARD 2020 REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS Reproductive Rights Scorecard Methodology Who are we? The ACLU of Georgia envisions a state that guarantees all persons the civil liberties and rights con- tained in the United States and Georgia Constitutions and Bill of Rights. The ACLU of Georgia en- hances and defends the civil liberties and rights of all Georgians through legal action, legislative and community advocacy and civic education and engagement. We are an inclusive, nonpartisan, state- wide organization powered by our members, donors and active volunteers. How do we select the bills to analyze? Which bills did we choose, and why? Throughout the ACLU’s history, great strides To ensure a thorough review of Georgia’s repro- have been made to protect women’s rights, in- ductive justice and women’s rights bills, we scored cluding women’s suffrage, education, women eight bills dating back to 2012.

Despite this incredible progress, ed (absences and excuses were not counted to- women still face discrimination and are forced to wards the score). Because the bills we chose were constantly defend challenges to their ability to voted on throughout the years of 2012 to 2020, make private decisions about reproductive health. some legislators are scored on a different num- Overall, women make just 78 cents for every ber of bills because they were not present in the dollar earned by men. Black women earn only legislature when every bill scored was voted on or 64 cents and Latinas earn only 54 cents for each they were absent/excused from the vote — these dollar earned by white men.

June 21, 2021 The Honorable Chuck Schumer The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Majority Leader Speaker United States Senate United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20515 The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Minority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Majority Leader Schumer, Madam Speaker Pelosi, Minority Leader McConnell, and Minority Leader McCarthy, As state legislators, we are the day-to-day technicians in fifty unique laboratories of democracy. We do our part to make government work to the benefit of all, regardless of party. This was true during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, when almost every state did its patriotic duty to provide voters relief and remove barriers to voting. This expansion of safe, secure voting led to an election with historic turnout. The scope of these state-level attacks is unparalleled. Close to 400 anti-voter bills have been introduced in legislatures across the nation, with many signed or on the way to becoming law in Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Arizona, and others. Make no mistake: these unpatriotic attacks on our elections will undermine confidence that elections in America can possibly represent the will of a checked and balanced majority. They present a deep threat to our democracy and will lead to material harm to communities that have long been under-represented. In a functioning democracy that fairly represents the voices of all people, elected officials should work together to expand the right to vote and protect the sanctity of elections. Indeed, we have attempted again and again to work with our Republican colleagues to set policies that safely and securely expanded voting access—but they simply refuse to act in good faith.
