Map: New State House boundaries (updated)

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

On Thursday, Aug. 18, the Georgia House voted 108-64, almost exclusively along partisan lines, to approve new district lines for the 2012 elections. Every district in the state must be redrawn every 10 years following the Census to reflect shifting population.

Some Democratic critics of the redrawing say that the new districts are designed to force out several incumbent Democrats.
