With the Georgia special session on redistricting starting today, we have Report Cards out for the Republican state house and state senate maps, which were released last night.

The State House Map gets a B overall and in Partisan Fairness, an F in Competitiveness and a C in Geography.
We'd expect it to elect 98R and 82D, compared to the current map, which elects 101R and 77D (with one vacancy).

It has 9 competitive seats.
It has 45 seats where Black Georgians make up a majority, 1 where Hispanic Georgians are a majority, and 1 where Asian Georgians make up just under 40% of the population.
The State Senate proposal gets an F overall, in Partisan Fairness, and in Competitiveness, with a C in Geography.
It would elect 33R and 23 D; the current map is 34 R and 22 D.

It has 1 competitive seat, 13 where the BVAP is over 50%, and 1 where the HVAP is over 40%.
It has also a hallmark of gerrymandering - a sudden jump in D vote share in the partisan composition chart.
This compares to the Report Cards we issued for the Democratic proposed maps:
House (B-B-F-C):

Senate (A-A-C-C): gerrymander.princeton.edu/redistricting-…
The parties will also be debating the Congressional maps this week.
The Democratic Proposal (B-B-C-C): gerrymander.princeton.edu/redistricting-…
The Republican Proposal (C-C-C-C): gerrymander.princeton.edu/redistricting-…
We got the numbers of the current Georgia State House wrong! We apologize - the current composition is 103R and 76D and one vacancy! Our apologies!
