Tennessee passes map splitting state's only majority-Black district

Original: Tennessee passes new congressional map that splits state's only majority-Black district

Tennessee lawmakers have approved a new congressional map that divides the state's only majority-Black district, currently represented in Memphis. Critics say the redrawing dilutes Black voting power and could make the seat far harder for Democrats to hold, echoing redistricting fights in other states. Supporters argue the map reflects legal and political realities. The change is expected to draw legal challenges and keep national attention on voting rights.

Why now: The map's approval immediately raises concerns about diluting Black voters' representation and is likely to trigger lawsuits and national political debate.
