Tennessee blev den första delstaten att rita om sina kongressvaldistrikt efter ett högsta domstolsbeslut förra veckan som försvagade skyddet mot rasbaserad valkretsmanipulering i Voting Rights Act. Republikaner i delstatens lagstiftande församling godkände en ny karta som tar bort det enda mandatet i representanthuset som innehas av en demokrat. Guvernör Bill Lee undertecknade åtgärden kort efter omröstningen.

De nya gränserna riktar in sig på det nionde kongressdistriktet, som för närvarande representeras av den demokratiske kongressledamoten Steve Cohen. Omritningen sätter punkt för det sista demokratiska fästet i en delstat där Donald Trump vann stort under 2024.

Vad folk säger

Initiala reaktioner på X visar hur konservativa hyllar kartan som strategisk republikansk dominans och ett slag mot demokraterna, medan kritiker kallar det för valkretsmanipulering och en orättvis måltavla mot ett distrikt med majoritet av svarta väljare; neutrala användare lyfter fram det lagstiftande kaoset och tidpunkten efter högsta domstolens beslut.
