Tennessee legislature redraws Memphis congressional district, splitting city into three Republican-leaning districts

Tennessee's Republican-controlled legislature redrew Memphis's congressional district, splitting the city's majority-Black population across three Republican-leaning districts instead of one Democratic-leaning seat. The redistricting places neighbors on opposite sides of district lines, with one example showing two Beale Street musicians living across the street from each other now assigned to different districts hundreds of miles apart. The plan is described as reshaping the midterms and follows similar redistricting efforts in other states.
