Sad news has arrived on the front of state-level redistricting. Eric Holder's Department of Justice, weirdly enough, has pre-cleared new district maps evidently designed to separate white and black voters as thoroughly as possible. Atlanta would be split into three separate districts under this map.
I can't imagine that Holder would let this through if he studied the map closely; that's my hope, at least. In any case, it's not a done deal, and there's still time to speak up about it. Insignificant though it may seem, I've emailed the Department with my concern.
