Again, there’s lots more info about these proposed maps here.
I haven’t taken the time to look closely at any of these maps, but there’s some interesting preliminary analysis underway at Peach Pundit and at the Political Insider at the AJC.
Given Republican dominance of both houses and the governor’s office, it seems likely that district changes will for the most part favor Republicans. There was an interesting allegation last week by a Democrat that the new maps will basically disempower white Democratic representatives — I might follow up on that accusation at some point.
