Partai Republik Tennessee ungkap peta kongres untuk menghapus kursi Demokrat

Partai Republik Tennessee pada hari Rabu mengungkapkan usulan peta kongres yang akan memecah Shelby County yang mayoritas penduduknya berkulit hitam dan kemungkinan besar menghapus kursi Demokrat terakhir di DPR AS. Rencana ini bertujuan untuk memberikan sembilan distrik kongres negara bagian tersebut kepada GOP. Hal ini menyusul putusan Mahkamah Agung baru-baru ini yang melemahkan perlindungan Undang-Undang Hak Pilih.

Peta baru yang dirilis pada hari kedua sesi legislatif khusus yang dipanggil oleh Gubernur Bill Lee ini akan membagi Memphis menjadi tiga distrik yang menguntungkan Partai Republik. Peta ini juga memecah wilayah-wilayah yang condong ke Demokrat di sekitar Nashville. Rep. Steve Cohen, politisi Demokrat berkulit putih yang telah mewakili wilayah Memphis selama hampir dua dekade, menyebut usulan tersebut rasis dan sebagai perebutan kekuasaan yang korup yang akan menghancurkan suara komunitas kulit hitam di Kongres.

Fewer congressional races are expected to be competitive in the upcoming fall elections, largely due to mid-decade redistricting efforts initiated by President Trump. This means over 90% of House seats will be decided in primaries with low voter turnout. Experts warn this gives outsized power to a small, unrepresentative group of voters.
