GAGOP seems very liberal in their use of redrawing districts whenever they feel they are even a little threatened.

The Georgia House approved the plan 168-0.

I stand corrected. But I have to ask - why vote for any mid-cycle map they put up? Is this a case of the minority party just acquiescing for small concessions (legislative or other) down the road, knowing that in the grand scheme of things they have no power anyway? Or was the map change benign - because the situation at face value doesn't really look reasonable. It looks like the majority party pushing small changes every time it feels the need to shore up vulnerable districts, which is an insult to the idea of fair elections.
