Tennessee Republicans pass map dividing up state’s lone majority-Black district - NBC News
Overview
Tennessee’s Republican-led Legislature approved a new congressional map that splits the state’s lone majority-Black district, effectively dismantling the only Democratic-held U.S. House seat and prompting expected legal challenges. Representative Steve Cohen announced he would retire after the redrawing, underscoring the map’s immediate effect on Democratic representation. That redistricting is one of the actions cited by the NAACP in its campaign urging Black student-athletes to withhold commitments to Southern schools as a protest against moves that could dilute Black voting power.
