While new U.S. Census data shows Georgia added more than a million people over the last decade, an even larger change in registered voters and who they vote for will be key considerations when lawmakers begin assigning residents into new voting districts this fall.
Population figures released this week provide a starting point for determining how Georgia’s 10,711,908 people will be split up into legislative and Congressional districts of equal proportions.
But the political leanings of the state’s 7.6 million active voters including the five million that flocked to the polls last November will be an equally important metric in deciding where lines are drawn. ....

A partisan divide over voting rights is nothing new for Georgia lawmakers: For years, Republicans have pushed changes they say would eliminate voter fraud while Democrats argue those measures amount to voter suppression that would disenfranchise minority voters.
That’s still true in 2021, as a raft of election bills work their way through the legislature that would drastically alter the state’s voting landscape.
