Tennessee Republican lawmakers have unveiled a congressional redistricting map that would split Memphis — and the state's only majority-Black, Democratic-held district — into three Republican-leaning seats, potentially giving the GOP a 9-0 hold on the state's U.S. House delegation. The mid-decade redistricting effort, conducted in a special session called by Governor Bill Lee days after the Supreme Court's landmark Louisiana v. Callais ruling weakened Voting Rights Act protections, has drawn hundreds of protesters to the state Capitol and is expected to face immediate legal challenges.
