Voters Given Chance To Express Views On County's Split Between Georgia House Districts

Oconee County Representatives Regina Quick and Chuck Williams should have a better sense on Tuesday evening of how at least a segment of the county’s voters feels about the boundaries of their districts in the Georgia House of Representatives.

That is when the results of a nonbinding question the Oconee County Republican Party placed on the ballot for the Republican primary will be announced.

The question asks voters if they support changing the district lines for Quick’s 117th District and Williams’ 119th District to bring Oconee County back into a single district in the Georgia House of Representatives.

The best guess is that only about 4,200 of the county’s 21,933 active voters will have cast a ballot by the end of the day on Tuesday, and about 3,750 of those who did cast a ballot will have voted in the Republican Primary.

Yet the data offer the first real test of support for the so-far unsuccessful efforts of Quick and Williams to get their district lines redrawn.
