When Georgia's 11th Congressional district was declared unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court last year, the state legislature tried and failed to come with a new congressional map.
What will make the race unusual from a racial and gender standpoint should Steinberg decide to run is the candidacy of 11th District Rep. Cynthia McKinney, a two-term Democrat from south DeKalb and the first black woman elected to Congress from Georgia.
