UM, WHAT? Georgia Republicans scrap redistricting talks before special session begins.

Georgia lawmakers will no longer discuss redrawing the state’s Congressional maps when a special session begins Wednesday.

Speaker of the House Jon Burns sent a letter to Gov. Brian Kemp signed by the House Majority leadership regarding the decision.

“Changes to Georgia’s maps should take place only when members of the General Assembly and citizens have been given ample opportunity to gather the facts, provide input and engage in meaningful discussion,” Burns wrote.

At a news conference, Senate President Pro Tem Larry Walker III says he and Georgia Republican Senators agree with Burns on not moving forward with redrawing the maps at this time.

Because that’s exactly what Democrats would do in this situation?

What a wasted opportunity.
