Tennessee GOP passes map, Gov. Lee signs to split Memphis district
Tennessee's Republican-controlled General Assembly repealed a more-than-five-decade ban on mid-cycle congressional redistricting and approved a new map that Gov. Bill Lee signed, fracturing Memphis' sole majority-Black district. The enacted map carves Memphis into multiple districts, replacing one reliably Black-majority seat with districts where Black voters make up a smaller share of the electorate. The NAACP filed an emergency lawsuit to block the law and the map, arguing the changes violate federal voting-rights protections and Tennessee's prior prohibition on mid-cycle redistricting. The change reshapes Tennessee's congressional map and threatens to weaken Black voters' ability to elect a preferred representative in upcoming elections.
🚨BREAKING: The NAACP filed an emergency lawsuit Thursday seeking to block Tennessee’s new congressional gerrymander, arguing the GOP’s rushed effort to dismantle the state’s lone majority-Black district. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
factsonly007.bsky.social13he burned a confederate flag in there!! Now that is the energy we need!
redeemedleftist.bsky.social9We need folks like these 2 Justin’s in every southern state. I’m so sick of millionaire white men
ray-kloos.bsky.social4We're "governed" by Crooks and Con-Men. We're way past time to fight back.
SouthernFriedHusker4I have no faith the courts will do the right thing. None.
coconutlizard.bsky.social3Good!👍🏽 The Good must win!
Benne Seed3We need to burn more confederate flags.
Susan 🪁2That's right, stop being racist!
Call me Dougie2It will be on the Supreme Court’s shadow doc in a week and passed on from the most corrupt court in history within 10 days. You won’t fix this country without starting with the SC. It’s in serious need of reform, corruption investigations and impeachment.
Don't Ask, Won't Tell2I'm going to make a nice donation to the NAACP. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT the RACIST REGIME.
Baseline Cranky2I support the Constitution. Thank you naacp.
freeworld99🍁🌻📎2Good. Don't let this go.
progcapitalism.bsky.social2Without a vote by the people.
NoSacredCowFla2Tennessee's move was purely racist.
Wouldn’t it be the cats pajamas if, even with a complete gerrymander, the state turned blue? Now, I highly doubt that would happen but I wouldn’t be surprised to see unhappy poor, destitute MAGA flippers at midterms. #SheShed #ThinkPositive #GoNAACP www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

CSL3You’re best beat on flipping is independents regretting their vote for him.
Mr. Blabalino 🇳🇴🇺🇸💙2The odds of doing this may be better than you think. It's going to depend on how many of the typical non-voters are mad enough to vote this time.
DebG 💙2That would be the last laugh!! It could happen...believe in miracles!!

Tennessee’s new 9-0 GOP gerrymander would erase the Black VRA 9th District, its only Dem seat. Shown below, the map splits Memphis and Nashville almost evenly into 3 districts each where white Republicans would outvote Black Dems in each city. Interactive map davesredistricting.org/join/2921405...
Stephen Wolf18This is blatant race-based gerrymandering—the GOP put Memphis’ white voters in 1 district & split its Black majority between 2 others to dilute their votes. But the Supreme Court’s Republicans said GOP partisan gerrymandering is a legitimate interest that overrides the VRA & 14th/15th amendments
Perry Anderson4If the Dems can regain control no quarter should be given to red state Republicans. They must be crushed politically or they will keep coming back like herpes.
MB2How big a wave election would it take to make this a dummymander? It’s about a 64:33 state, so D+15 makes it interesting
