  • Measuring Impact of New Obstacles on Minority Voter Registration
    Legal Dodges and Subterfuges: Measuring Impact of New Obstacles on Minority Voter Registration Jennifer Ann Hitchcock Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In Political Science Nicholas Goedert, Chair Caitlin E. Jewitt Karin Kitchens December 12, 2019 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: (voter registration, Shelby County v Holder, representation, migration) Legal Dodges and Subterfuges: Measuring Impact of New Obstacles on Minority Voter Registration Jennifer Ann Hitchcock ACADEMIC ABSTRACT Nearly 350 years of politically sanctioned domination over Blacks ended with the passage of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) in 1965. The federal regulation of voter and election law sought to end retrogressions in representation by intentional or effectual laws. In the VRA’s wake, race based politics and policy rooted in White supremacy were curtailed with the gradual representation of communities of color in all levels of government. Shelby County v Holder (2013) obstructed progress by effectively terminating preclearance of legal changes by the federal government. Since Shelby, retrogression of voter registration is once again on the rise. Remedies for retrogression require litigation and matriculation through the courts. This process is time consuming and allows states to conduct election law with minimal interruption until decisions are rendered. Research predating the passage of the Voting Rights Act by Matthews and Prothro indicated that there was a significant correlation between growing minority populations and the severity of election and voter laws. This paper seeks to determine if growing minority populations, in part due to disproportionately large in-migration, correlates with declining voter registration rates.

  • 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.

  • Presession Report 2019
    PRESESSION REPORT 2019 PRE-FILED LEGISLATION • House http://www.legis.ga.gov/Legislation/en-US/Prefiles.aspx?Chamber=2 • Senate http://www.legis.ga.gov/Legislation/en-US/Prefiles.aspx?Chamber=1 There were 28 pre-filed pieces of legislation for 2019. While some were on the lighter side – such as naming the judicial center after Governor Nathan Deal and commending the Atlanta Braves 2018 season – some notables include the following: HB 2 – (Rep. Matt Gurtler) Allows certain Georgians to carry a firearm without a permit. HB 8 – (Rep. Debbie Buckner) Exempts certain women’s hygiene products from state sales tax. HR 2 – (Rep. Scot Turner) Prohibits the use of a poll tax in Georgia. HR 6 – (Rep. Michael Caldwell) Provides for term limits for state elected officials. SB 2 – (Sen. Steve Gooch) Allows for EMCs to partner with internet companies to provide broadband service to members. HOT BUTTON ISSUES FOR 2019 Education Throughout the campaign, Governor Kemp presented education as one of his top priorities. Included in this is teacher compensation and a priority on mental health counselors in schools as well as school security. We will also continue to watch and see how the state proceeds with the implementation of the testing pilot program passed in 2018. One complication in education policy in 2019 is a void in leadership in each Chamber. With the retirement of Brooks Coleman in the House and Senator Lindsey Tippins resigning his chairmanship, both committees are currently without a leader. We expect the new chairs to be announced any day now. Rural Georgia Throughout the 2018 Legislative Session and the 2018 Campaign season, we saw a recurring theme in that legislators see the need for reforms that aid rural Georgia.

  • Sine Die 2016
    Georgia Bio Legislative Watch SineDie 2016 Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP The General Assembly has adjourned "Sine Die". In keeping with tradition, lawmakers saved their lengthiest calendar of bills for the final day of the session. They went passed the previously- assumed "midnight deadline" and adjourned closer to 12:30 am. Legislators now rush back to tend to their campaigns in their home districts. While most passed legislation is still 'pending', Governor Deal sent a strong message to Georgia's faith and business communities by vetoing HB 757, the "Free Exercise Protection Act" on Monday. Numerous legislators are calling for an override of the Governor's veto, which would require a 3/5 majority in both chambers to call them back into session. Such an action is supposed to only be used to address a State emergency. We will monitor and notify you if this gains any traction. 2016 Study Committees: Legislators passed numerous resolutions creating study committees. These committees will meet throughout the rest of year and will prepare a final report to be used during in 2017. We will be monitoring and reporting a number of these study committees. House Study Committees • HR 978, by Rep. Wendell Willard (R-Sandy Springs) creates the House Special Study Committee on Judicial Qualifications Commission Reform. • HR 979, by Rep. Penny Houston (R-Nashville) creates the House Study Committee on Programs that Provide Services for the Reading to the Blind and the Visually Impaired. • HR 1093, by Rep. Kimberly Alexander (D-Hiram) creates the House Study Committee on Mental Illness Initiative, Reform, Public Health, and Safety.

  • ABBC 2016 Annual Report
    IMPACT FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE ANNUAL REPORT 2016 ATLANTA BETTER BUILDINGS CHALLENGE One of my proudest accomplishments as Mayor of Atlanta is the tremendous success achieved through the Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge (ABBC). The Office of Resilience has partnered with businesses and nonprofit organizations to implement a comprehensive, voluntary program to increase energy and water efficiency in our building stock. The Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge invites participating building owners to commit to a 20 percent reduction in energy and water use by year 2020. With more than 114 million square feet of building space and more than 600 buildings pledged, Atlanta has earned its spot as a leader on the efficiency scoreboard. Since 2011, this successful public-private partnership between the City of Atlanta, Central Atlanta Progress, Livable Buckhead, Midtown Alliance and Southface has positioned Atlanta as a national leader in energy and water efficiency. We surpassed our water reduction goal five years ahead of schedule, and we’re quickly closing the gap on our energy goal, having already reduced our portfolio’s energy consumption by 17 percent. Through the Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge, participants are saving money on bills now, while helping to ensure a more resilient future for all Atlantans. This program plays a pivotal role in furthering Atlanta as a top-tier city for sustainability. We hope to inspire other cities by our achievements and lead by example as we continue to make big strides in reducing our energy and water usage. Thanks to our participants in the Challenge. Sincerely, Mayor Kasim Reed INTRODUCTION | 03 IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF OUR BUILDINGS 20 PERCENT BY 2020 The goal of the Department of Energy’s Better Buildings Resource conservation efforts not only support the City’s Challenge is to improve the efficiency of commercial, sustainability efforts and lead to a cleaner and healthier institutional, industrial, and multifamily buildings by 20% or place to live and work, but the dollar savings achieved more by 2020.

Please contact the principals above to learn more about the services of the firm. Weekly Legislative Report #6 Week Ending February 22nd, 2019 The General Assembly completed its 20th legislative day on Friday, the halfway point of its 40-day session. Floor sessions are lengthening and committee meetings are beginning to stretch into the 5:00 and 6:00 p.m. realm as more and more bills work their way through the multi-layered process. FY 2019 Amended Budget Completed The House and Senate on Friday passed the FYA 2019 budget with a couple of amendments, finishing the General Assembly’s work on funding for the fiscal year ending June 30. Legislators found an additional $250,000 for home delivered meals to decrease the waiting list in each Area Agency on Aging across the state. They added $2 million to help hospitals located in rural, federally designated counties adversely impacted by Hurricane Michael, and made $20 million available for loans to farmers impacted by the hurricane. The increases are based on an estimated 3.3% revenue growth through June 30. That’s more than the 1.5% growth the state has seen since July 1 of last year, but legislators were confident of balancing the budget as required by the state constitution. Your Doc Is Just a Phone Call Away . Senator Renee Unterman (R-Buford) lost her HHS Committee Chair, but she certainly hasn’t retired from the fight.
