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 has approved new congressional maps that divide Memphis's single Democratic-held district into three districts expected to favor Republicans in November. The changes follow protests by Democratic lawmakers and a special legislative session.
