Cobb redistricting maps go before Georgia Senate

• State Rep. Ginny Ehrhart’s legislation puts two Democratic school board members into the same district and leaves another vacant.

Both bills, which have been criticized by Democrats and activists, are expected to pass the Senate.

Of note: Redrawn Gwinnett County Commission and Board of Education maps passed the legislature and were signed into law last week by Gov. Brain Kemp.

• New maps for Augusta-Richmond County’s commission and school board have cleared both chambers and await Kemp’s signature.
