Cobb Commission approves amended redistricting map

Cobb County Commissioners voted 3-2 Tuesday night for a an amended reapportionment map that keeps the entire Mableton area in one commission district.

A map, currently being considered at the capitol, splits the area into two districts. The amended map, supported by Commissioner Woody Thompson, who currently represents the entire area, and Commissioners JoAnn Birrell and Helen Goreham will be presented to Cobb’s delegation.

But the effort may be too late. The initial map has already been approved by the state House and has moved over to the Senate for consideration.
