صوت الجمهوريون في ولاية تينيسي يوم الخميس لصالح إقرار خرائط انتخابية جديدة للكونغرس من المتوقع أن تقضي على المقعد الوحيد للحزب الديمقراطي في مجلس النواب الأمريكي بالولاية. وقد وقع حاكم الولاية الجمهوري بيل لي مشروع القانون ليصبح قانوناً سارياً بعد ذلك بوقت قصير. جاءت هذه الخطوة عقب قرار للمحكمة العليا يقضي بعدم دستورية بعض الدوائر الانتخابية ذات الأغلبية السوداء باعتبارها تلاعباً عرقياً في ترسيم الحدود.

تجمع مئات المحتجين في مبنى الكابيتول بالولاية في ناشفيل خلال الجلسة الخاصة، وحملوا لافتات كُتب عليها "جيم كرو 2.0" و"نظام فصل عنصري حديث"، بينما كان المشرعون يناقشون الخرائط التي تقسم مدينة ممفيس إلى ثلاث دوائر انتخابية تميل لصالح الجمهوريين. وقد قامت قوات أمن الولاية بإخلاء أجزاء من قاعة الزوار بعد رفض المتظاهرين المغادرة.

Tennessee became the first state to redraw its congressional districts after a Supreme Court decision last week that weakened Voting Rights Act protections against racial gerrymandering. Republicans in the state legislature approved a new map that removes the only U.S. House seat held by a Democrat. Governor Bill Lee signed the measure into law shortly after the vote.

Tennessee Republicans on Wednesday unveiled a proposed congressional map that would split the state's majority-Black Shelby County and likely erase the last Democratic seat in the U.S. House. The plan aims to give the GOP all nine of the state's congressional districts. It follows a recent Supreme Court ruling that weakened Voting Rights Act protections.

Callais ruling threatens Black congressional seats across the South

Following the U.S. Supreme Court's April 29, 2026, Callais v. Louisiana decision striking down Louisiana's congressional map as a racial gerrymander (as covered in this series), experts warn the reinterpretation of Voting Rights Act protections could endanger minority representation nationwide. Louisiana has extended suspension of its U.S. House primaries until at least July 2026 amid expectations of a redraw.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6–3 on April 29, 2026, in Louisiana v. Callais that Louisiana’s congressional map (SB8) was an unconstitutional racial gerrymander, concluding the Voting Rights Act did not require the state to draw an additional majority-Black district. Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., called the ruling “a massive and devastating blow,” warning it could accelerate redistricting fights across Southern states ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

A Tazewell County Circuit Court has paused certification of a Virginia referendum passed on April 21, 2026, that returns congressional redistricting power to the Democrat-controlled General Assembly.
