Tennessee legislature approves new congressional map splitting Memphis majority-Black district
The Tennessee state legislature passed a new U.S. House redistricting map on Thursday that carves up Memphis's majority-Black district, after first repealing a 56-year-old law prohibiting mid-decade redistricting. Republican Gov. Bill Lee is expected to sign the map into law. Democratic lawmakers protested with airhorns, signs, and physical demonstrations during the vote, with some comparing the effort to Jim Crow-era politics.
