  6. #Democratic lawmakers, whose opposition means little under a #Republican supermajority in the state’s General Assembly, & #Black leaders across #Tennessee have compared the effort to carve up the Ninth Congressional District to #JimCrow era voter suppression tactics.

  11. #Tennessee #Republicans on Wednesday proposed a congressional map aimed at diluting the state’s lone majority #Black district, a swift response to last week’s #SCOTUS ruling that weakened a landmark #VotingRights #law.

    The new map slices #Memphis, a majority-Black city, & #ShelbyCounty into 3 districts & likely will give Republicans the ability to flip Tennessee’s lone remaining Democratic seat.

  19. The #SupremeCourt upheld a #SouthCarolina congressional map, easing #Republican #racialgerrymandering. The 6-3 decision, authored by Justice #SamuelAlito, dismissed prior findings of racial bias due to insufficient evidence. This ruling, criticized by Justice #ElenaKagan, raises the proof bar for gerrymandering cases, potentially weakening #VotingRights for minorities and reinforcing GOP electoral advantages.
