GAE 2019-2020 Legislative Report Card Cover art and photography courtesy of GAE Member Wendy Morgan, arts teacher at Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe High School, Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia Georgia Association of Educators 2019-2020 Legislative Report Card 1 With more than 25,000 members, the Georgia Association of Educators (GAE) is the oldest professional organization for public school employees in the state, with a history dating back to the 1870s. GAE policy positions are driven by the mission statement and principles of the organization and our members. This report card summarizes the voting record of state senators and representatives on key issues during the 155th Session of the Georgia General Assembly, 2019-2020. GAE sponsors the Georgia Spelling Bee contest and Read Across America, the annual reading motivation and awareness program that calls for every child in every community to celebrate reading on March 2, 2021. Cover photo courtesy of GAE member Wendy Morgan, Catoosa County 2 Georgia state Senate Votes scored SB 386 - Legislation to vastly expand the state’s existing program to provide wealthy parents with taxpayer-paid subsidies for private school tuition for their children.

  • 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.

The motives for the grant were to aid worthy poor in England, to strengthen the colonies, increase imperial trade and navigation, and to provide a buffer for Carolina against Spanish Florida. Even though the King had granted the charter for the colony, Oglethorpe wanted to get the consent of the Indians inhabiting the area.

  • Georgia Government 1 (PDF)
    Georgia Government Summary Dr. Sarah Kuck and Mr. Roger Marietta Introduction Georgia’s state government was formed in 1776, and since that time the State Constitution has been rewritten 10 times and amended hundreds of times. To amend the Georgia Constitution today, both houses of the Georgia General Assembly must pass the proposed Constitutional amendment by a two-thirds vote. The amendment ratification is voted on by the people in the next general election, and a majority of the voters must approve. Georgia’s state government and its politics have been shaped by its history. 2011 is the sesquicentennial of the beginning of the Civil War. President Lincoln and General Sherman, as hated Republicans, left a simmering anger as the Civil War and slavery came to an end. The Democratic Party dominated Georgia politics until the period after the Civil War known as Reconstruction. Reconstruction brought the freed slaves into the political process as Republicans, and they gained many elected offices from 1865 until 1877. When the Posse Comitatus Act was passed by Congress and Federal troops could no longer enforce state and local laws, the political winds shifted. From 1877 until 1954, “Jim Crow” laws enforced segregation in Georgia while the Democrats dominated the politics of Georgia under the banner of “state rights”. Many Caucasian voters in Georgia were “Yellow Dog” Democrats – they would vote Democrat even if the candidate was a yellow dog. With the Supreme Court’s reversal of Plessy v Ferguson as a result of Brown v Board of Education of Topeka Kansas, coupled with the emergence of Dr.

BRIAN KEMP, in his official capacity as Secretary of State of the State of Georgia, Defendant. COMPLAINT 1. Plaintiffs bring this action to challenge the Georgia General Assembly redistricting plan, Act No. 251 (2015 Ga. Laws 1413) (“H.B. 566”), on the grounds that it violates Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, 52 U.S.C. § 10301, and the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. Through mid-cycle redistricting, the General Assembly has sought to dilute growing African-American voting strength, targeting areas where African- 1 Case 1:17-cv-03856-AT Document 1 Filed 10/03/17 Page 2 of 44 American candidates were poised to attain seats in the Georgia House of Representatives. And it has succeeded. The General Assembly not only effectively quashed the growing minority population’s voting strength in two specific House districts in the Atlanta exurbs – Districts 105 and 111 (the “Challenged Districts”) – it further circumvented the creation of at least one additional majority-minority district that would provide African-American voters the ability to elect their candidates of choice.
