State lawmakers have released a map of proposed new congressional maps after a federal court judge ruled the current one unconstitutional last month. The newly created map creates a new Black majority 6th congressional district in west Atlanta. The proposed district heavily impacts Democrat Lucy McBath, who represents the 7th congressional district. On Friday, state lawmakers in the House and Senate voted to approve the new maps. Now the maps will go before another vote in the opposite chamber. Democrats have criticized both the House and Senate maps as unfair and remaining discriminatory.
