2017 "Special Election" for some GA seats a possibility

That's what happens when you disregard the Constitution:

Attorneys for the state lawmakers who have been forced by the federal courts to redraw congressional and state legislative district maps have suggested July 28, 2017, as the deadline for coming up with a new legislative districting plan that complies with the federal court ruling.

The challengers plan to provide more details by Sept. 30 on why they think the court should order a special election in 2017 instead of waiting until 2018 as the lawmakers have suggested.

Honestly, it should be the other way around. Republicans should have to explain why waiting for *two years* to repair these screwed up districts is justifiable. And I can't think of any reason how it could be.
