Rep. Buddy Carter calls for Georgia officials to toss out already cast votes: "We need to suspend the House races and go ahead and redistrict so that Georgians would be represented in the next two years by people who represent their values. Georgia is a Republican state. We need to remember that."

They stole Texas and Florida from us and now they’re coming after Georgia. This is insanity. They must be stopped.

To squash democratic representation. From 2010-2020 we had 8 republicans and 6 democrats. We elected 2 democratic senators and voted for Joe Biden.
They split 2 democratic counties and added another republican.
We are now 9-5 republicans which means we are 63-37% in representation.
