Tennessee menjadi negara bagian pertama yang menggambar ulang distrik kongresnya setelah keputusan Mahkamah Agung pekan lalu yang melemahkan perlindungan Undang-Undang Hak Pilih terhadap gerrymandering rasial. Partai Republik di badan legislatif negara bagian tersebut menyetujui peta baru yang menghapus satu-satunya kursi DPR AS yang dipegang oleh seorang Demokrat. Gubernur Bill Lee menandatangani tindakan tersebut menjadi undang-undang tak lama setelah pemungutan suara.

Batas-batas baru tersebut menargetkan Distrik Kongres ke-9, yang saat ini diwakili oleh anggota Kongres dari Partai Demokrat, Steve Cohen. Pemetaan ulang ini mengakhiri satu-satunya pijakan Demokrat yang tersisa di negara bagian yang dimenangkan Donald Trump secara telak pada tahun 2024.

Apa yang dikatakan orang

Reaksi awal di X menunjukkan pihak konservatif merayakan peta tersebut sebagai dominasi strategis GOP dan pukulan bagi Demokrat, sementara para kritikus menyebutnya sebagai gerrymandering dan penargetan yang tidak adil terhadap distrik mayoritas warga kulit hitam; pengguna netral menyoroti kekacauan legislatif dan penentuan waktu pasca-Mahkamah Agung.

Tennessee Republicans voted Thursday to pass new congressional maps expected to eliminate the state's only Democratic U.S. House seat. Republican Governor Bill Lee signed the measure into law shortly afterward. The move followed a Supreme Court decision striking down certain majority-black districts as unconstitutional racial gerrymandering.

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.

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 that Louisiana's congressional map, which included a second majority-Black district, constitutes an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the majority that Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act requires proof of intentional discrimination, not just disparate impact. The decision, in Louisiana v. Callais, limits race-based redistricting and prompts new maps in several states.
