A new Tennessee congressional map that splits Memphis is making its debut in the state's primary
A new Tennessee congressional map has reshaped districts in Memphis, carving up a majority Black district and prompting concerns among voters about diminished representation. The changes were made by the Republican-led Legislature following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that weakened federal Voting Rights Act protections for minorities. This highly debated redistricting is debuting in a primary election to determine candidates for the midterms.
