Penataan ulang daerah pemilihan Tennessee membagi distrik Memphis menjadi tiga

Tennessee telah menyetujui peta kongres baru yang membagi satu-satunya distrik di Memphis yang dikuasai Demokrat menjadi tiga distrik yang diperkirakan akan menguntungkan Partai Republik pada bulan November. Perubahan ini terjadi setelah adanya protes dari anggota parlemen Demokrat dan sesi legislatif khusus.

Batas-batas baru tersebut membagi Memphis di sepanjang Poplar Avenue, memasukkan sebagian wilayah kota yang mayoritas penduduknya berkulit hitam ke dalam distrik-distrik yang membentang melintasi wilayah pedesaan Tennessee selatan hingga ke area pinggiran kota di dekat Nashville. Para pejabat mengatakan peta tersebut digambar ulang setelah Mahkamah Agung memutuskan bahwa negara bagian tidak perlu mempertahankan distrik dengan mayoritas penduduk berkulit hitam.
