  • 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.

  • Voting Rights in Georgia: 1982–2006
    VOTING RIGHTS IN GEORGIA: 1982–2006 ROBERT A. KENGLE* INTRODUCTION In 1965, black citizens of Georgia were profoundly disadvantaged in their ability to exercise the franchise that Congress had meant to extend nearly a century earlier: On the eve of passage of the [Voting Rights Act], fewer than a third of age-eligible blacks in Georgia were registered to vote. The disparities were even greater in the state’s twenty-three counties with black voting- age majorities, where an average of 89 percent of whites, but only 16 percent of blacks, were registered. Despite the fact that blacks were 34 percent of the voting-age population, there were only three black elected officials in the entire state, and they had been elected only in the preced- ing three years. This exclusion from the normal political processes was not fortuitous; it was the result of two centuries of deliberate and system- atic discrimination by the state against its minority population.1 * Robert A. Kengle is a Senior Counsel with the Voting Rights Project at the Lawyers’ Commit- tee for Civil Rights Under Law, in Washington, D.C. He joined the Voting Section of the Civil Rights Division at the United States Department of Justice as an Honor Law Graduate in 1984, and served there until 2005. He received a J.D. from Antioch School of Law in 1984 and a B.A. from Allegheny College in 1978. As a trial attorney in the Voting Section he litigated minority vote dilution claims un- der Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, enforcement and preclearance actions under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act and racial gerrymandering claims under Shaw v.

Conclusion............................................................................27 Works Consulted..................................................................29 Preface This paper is a study of the redesigning of Georgia’s present state flag during the 1956 session of the General Assembly as well as a general review of the evolution of the pre-1956 state flag. No attempt will be made in this paper to argue that the state flag is controversial simply because it incorporates the Confederate battle flag or that it represents the Confederacy itself. Rather, this paper will focus on the flag as it has become associated, since the 1956 session, with preserving segregation, resisting the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision of Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, and maintaining white supremacy in Georgia. A careful examination of the history of Georgia’s state flag, the 1956 session of the General Assembly, the designer of the present state flag – John Sammons Bell, the legislation redesigning the 1956 flag, and the status of segregation at that time, will all be addressed in this study.
