Brown was elected after the Third District was redrawn in 1992. She proved to be an effective advocate for the military bases there, but last spring found herself back on the redistricting block when a federal panel declared the horseshoe-shaped district, which stretched more than 250 miles through 14 counties, to have been racially gerrymandered. Brown is now worried about her seat, since the number of black voters in the redrawn Third dropped from over half the population to just over...
...Supreme Court decision--declaring the Second and 11th Districts unconstitutionally gerrymandered on the basis of race--has made this year's Georgia election something of a peach cobbler. All the state's 11 congressional districts had to be redrawn; African Americans lost their majority in two of three districts.

Not this digital gorilla, fetched from the old arcade game and redrawn in eye-popping 3-D by the same Silicon Graphics computers that brought the dinosaurs to life in Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park.

In fact, the game in its first week of release in November brought in more money (nearly $35 million) than the Disney studio's box-office gorilla The Santa Clause...
...tried to create a second black-majority congressional district after the 1990 census. In the judges' view the resulting district, which zigzags in a thin line for 600 miles along the state's northern and eastern borders, was the product of impermissible racial gerrymandering. Now the map must be redrawn before the state's 1994 elections...
