Brian Kemp lacks urgency. Georgia’s Republican governor is like a man who learns that the Chattahoochee River is about to breach its banks, and then rather than surround his home with sandbags, he naps in the basement.  Republicans are bracing for a potential flood of Trump-hating Left-wing voters who could hand Democrats the U.S. House of Representatives and perhaps the Senate. Thanks to the Supreme Court’s April 29 Louisiana v. Callais ruling, racially gerrymandered, Democrat-leaning districts are now unconstitutional. Republicans now have the opportunity, indeed the obligation, to create constitutional, race-neutral, GOP-friendly districts. This should happen swiftly, long before November 3’s mid-term elections. Peach State Republicans are begging Kemp to call a special session for this purpose. What’s the rush? Kemp responds. He prefers to ignore redistricting and extend this injustice for two more years. “The Supreme Court’s decision,” Kemp stated, “allows states to pass electoral maps that reflect the will of the voters, not the will of federal judges.” He added: “Voting is already underway for the 2026 elections, but it’s clear that Callais requires Georgia to adopt new electoral maps before the 2028 election cycle.” Kemp moans about early voting in Georgia’s May 19 primary elections. However, Louisiana’s U.S. House primaries were set for May 16, three days earlier. After Callais, Republican Governor Jeff Landry suspended that vote, so legislators in Baton Rouge could craft color-neutral maps. House primaries will resume thereafter. Under the steady leadership of Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, Florida lawmakers handled this April 28-29. No fuss. No bother. Done.  Tennessee’s legislature and GOP Gov. Bill Lee did likewise on Thursday.  “It’s a form of Jim Crow terror,” Democrat State Rep. Justin Jones whined as Republicans split the majority-black Ninth Congressional District. Underscoring the absurd immorality of racial redistricting, Democrat Steve Cohen has represented this “black constituency” since 2007. Cohen is white.  Kemp is no stranger to special sessions. Indeed, on Oct. 26, 2023, a federal judge found Georgia’s districts insufficiently black. That very day, Kemp ordered state lawmakers to convene that November 29 and re-draw political maps. Kemp got busy in 2023. But in 2026, with the entire Trump/GOP agenda at stake, Kemp snores. Kemp should postpone May 19’s primary elections; tap state legislators to re-draw constitutional, color-neutral districts; and re-schedule the primary for, say, six weeks hence: Tuesday, June 30. Convenient? No. Constitutional? Yes.  Make no mistake: Kemp’s betrayal will trap Georgia’s citizens this November inside legislative lines that the Supreme Court has deemed racially discriminatory—and unconstitutionally so. Does Kemp savor unconstitutional racial discrimination? His proposed two-year interval of injustice embodies institutional racism, something every Republican should treat like a peanut allergy. Had Callais gone the other way, try to imagine a Democrat governor saying, “Relax. Forget about 2026. We’ll bolster our race-based districts in 2028.” Inconceivable! “Georgia voters are already being asked to vote on a QR-coded voting system that violates three Georgia statutes, the Help America Vote Act, and President Trump’s March 25, 2025 Executive Order 14248 issued to the Election Assistance Commission,” says Garland Favorito, co-founder of VoterGA. “Now we are being asked to vote in unconstitutionally drawn voting districts. When does this madness end?” “It is incomprehensible,” sighs Cleta Mitchell, Esq., Senior Legal Fellow with the Conservative Partnership Institute. She observes that Georgia’s legislature adjourned on April 3 without replacing prohibited QR-code-reading voting machines.  “So, the Governor MUST call a special session to select a legally approved system for the 2026 general election,” Mitchell explains. “If Governor Kemp and the moronic Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger cared about conducting elections in accordance with the laws and constitutions of the U.S. and Georgia, the congressional primaries would be postponed, just as they were in 2020 due to COVID. Kemp would call a special session immediately, to solve both problems—lawful congressional districts and lawful voting systems. Instead, they do nothing. Governor Kemp’s hostility to doing the right thing is shocking but is nothing new.”    ​We publish a variety of perspectives.
