(AJC) — The top Democrat in the Georgia House has threatened to field primary challengers against any fellow Democrat who votes for a GOP-drawn redistricting map. House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams, D-Atlanta, told fellow Democrats in an e-mail obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the Republican plans for new district lines are discriminatory and represent a “roll-back of voting rights in Georgia” — a charge Republicans reject as partisan sour grapes. Abrams said she will work tirelessly to re-elect Democrats who vote against the plan when lawmakers return to Atlanta next week and that “we will hold every YES vote for this map accountable.”
