Summary
Tennessees new congressional district map, redrawn by Republican lawmakers, has sparked controversy. The ninth district, previously majority-Black and centered in Memphis, is now stretched over 200 miles, encompassing urban, rural, and suburban areas. Critics argue this dilutes Black voices, while supporters claim it creates fairer districts. Lawsuits are pending, and the map could change again before elections.
