Impact of redistricting
- See also: Redistricting in Georgia
The Georgia General Assembly is responsible for redistricting in the state, with the Legislative and Congressional Reapportionment Committee responsible for redistricting in the House and Reapportionment and Redistricting Committee responsible for redistricting in the Senate. Georgia must submit its plans to the federal government for Voting Rights Act approval.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Georgia's population increased from 8.19 million in 2000 to 9.69 million in 2010. Most of the population in 2010 was in the northern portion of the state, centered around the Atlanta metropolitan area.[3] The population represented by each Georgia State Senator rose to 173,000, and the population represented by each House member rose to 53,800.[4]
Both chambers of the General Assembly passed their respective maps on August 18, 2012, and concurred with each other's on August 23. Governor Nathan Deal signed the maps into law on August 24, and—as required by the Voting Rights Act—the U.S. Department of Justice pre-cleared them on December 23. Adjustments to the House maps were passed and signed on February 23, 2012, and pre-cleared on May 11. Rep. Elena Parent (D) said "These districts are not compact, do not represent communities of interest." Chairman of the House Legislative and Congressional Reapportionment Committee, Rep. Roger Lane (R), said the maps were drawn with "input from both the minority party and the majority [and was] the most transparent, open process in the history of Georgia."[5] The plan resulted in 20 incumbents of the same party running against each other in the same district. Four of these pairings were in Republican districts in south Georgia and six were Democrats in the Atlanta area.[6]
Qualifications
Paragraph 3 of Section 2 of Article 3 of the Georgia Constitution states, "At the time of their election, the members of the House of Representatives shall be citizens of the United States, shall be at least 21 years of age, shall have been citizens of this state for at least two years, and shall have been legal residents of the territory embraced within the district from which elected for at least one year."
Noteworthy events
Department of Justice sues over voting deadlines
On June 29, 2012, the Department of Justice filed a suit in federal court against the state of Georgia, alleging that service members, their family members and overseas civilian voters wouldn't have time to vote by absentee ballot in runoff elections, if they were required.[7] According to the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (dead link) (UOCAVA), states must transmit all validly requested ballots to UOCAVA voters at least 45 days before an election, unless a hardship exemption is obtained, for which Georgia failed to file.[7] However, this conflicts with the timeline for runoff elections, in which the primary runoff, by law, must be held 21 days after the regular or special primary election, and if a runoff is required after the Nov. 6 general election, it will be held 28 days later, on December 4, which also wouldn’t provide the required 45 days.[7]
As part of the lawsuit, the Department of Justice asked Georgia to "extend the ballot receipt deadline to Aug. 31 for these voters, to send ballots by express delivery as soon as possible before the Aug. 21 runoff election, and inform UOCAVA voters no later than July 7 of their right to request a state write-in absentee ballot or their official absentee ballot for any runoff election by downloading it from the Internet, by email, or by fax."[7]
