Georgia Governor Brian Kemp announced that the state will keep its existing congressional district lines and will not cancel the May 19 primary, despite pressure to redraw maps after a Supreme Court ruling on the Voting Rights Act. The decision rejects calls to rush a redistricting plan ahead of the midterm elections. Politico notes the governor’s stance follows the Court’s recent decision but does not specify any further legal challenges.
