Georgia redistricting
Bryan Tyson, Director of Policy and Research for the Georgia House Republican Caucus, emailed me:
Thought you might be interested in knowing that Georgia also has two redistricting-related cases pending at the moment. The remand of the Ashcroft case from the USSC regarding preclearance is continuing, and the DC Court is having a scheduling conference later this week to determine timing on reopening discovery, etc. There is also an equal protection challenge based on deviation and partisan gerrymandering that hasn't gotten much press, but survived multiple motions to dismiss by the state and is having oral arguments on summary judgment motions today. Most of the filings are posted on http://www.thinkmajority.com/reapportionment/litigation/larios.v.perdue.shtml Rest of the summary judgment proceeding filings should be posted soon.
Thanks for the link.
