Proposed maps for the Georgia General Assembly
Update 8:10p 4/29/12 This is a re-post of the maps passed during the special session last year. Please review carefully to determine which district you are in, the Google Earth download is fantastic and will help tremendously. Thanks Steve
Also please email Ryan at r.s.davis@charter.net if you are interesting in supporting the campaign with a sign in your yard.
Earlier today, the Legislative and Congressional Reapportionment Office released the proposed maps for state House and Senate districts. You may have a hard time reading them while trying to figure out what district you’ll be in. But thankfully, the Reapportionment Office provided Google Earth files that allow you to search where your address is so you can figure out what district you’ll be in.
In case you’ve never used Google Earth, here’s what you need to do:
- Download Google Earth and install the program.
- Download the Google Earth files for the House and Senate (right click on the link and “Save Link As…” to your desktop).
- Once you’ve installed Google Earth, click the file for the proposed map.
- In the top, left-hand corner you’ll see the “Search” option. Just type in your address and hit “Enter” on your keyboard. You can zoom in or out to get a better look at the district and where you fall in it.
These maps aren’t final. The legislature will enter into a special session next week to review them.
