Residents pack townhall to discuss Georgia redistricting

FORSYTH, Ga. — Dozens of residents packed the cafeteria at South Forsyth High School July 1 to share their thoughts with legislators on this year’s statewide redistricting process.
Although the final district lines will be drawn largely based on data collected in the 2020 Census, other factors are taken into consideration, said State Sen. John F. Kennedy (R-Macon).
“At the end of the day, we’ve got to make sure that every house seat covers about the same amount of population,” Kennedy said after the session. “And then beyond that, you got all the other requirements that we have to meet. What you heard was a smattering of folks touching on the issues that really are part of the requirements of what we consider through the process.”
