Tennessee Republicans pass redistricting map splitting the state鈥檚 lone majority-Black district
source: Tennessee General Assembly -> target: Shelby County / Memphis-area voters
On 2026-05-07, the Tennessee General Assembly voted in special session to approve a redistricting package that would split Shelby County and the Memphis-based 9th Congressional District into three districts. The move was described as reducing Black political power and favoring Republicans, and WCYB reported that Gov. Bill Lee signed the map into law the same day.
