"First of all, I applaud the Supreme Court for the decision they made. They made the right decision. Race should never be considered in drawing congressional districts."
"And I'm glad that Tennessee and Alabama are redrawing their districts. And I think that Georgia should do the same thing. Yes, we have started early voting."
"And yes, it would be inconvenient. But at the same time, it's never too late to do the right thing. And the right thing is for the governor and for the legislature to call a special session to redistrict."

Carter expressed support for this approach, urging Georgia's legislature to take similar action despite early voting already commencing, emphasizing the importance of representation aligned with voters' values.
