Investigate officials involved in manipulating voting maps

AI-assisted summary

Warnock calls for a Democratic majority in either chamber of Congress to investigate officials who manipulated maps to silence Black voters. He says Congress should use hearings, document requests, depositions, testimony and, if necessary, subpoenas to examine whether the officials broke laws or engaged in illegal discrimination, and to make their actions public.

Context: The proposal focuses on officials involved in map manipulation, particularly across the Deep South; subpoenas would be used if necessary.
