Tennessee GOP Moves to Decimate Black Voting Power After Supreme Court’s Blessing of Jim Crow

The Tennessee GOP has passed new redistricting maps that eliminate the state's only Black-majority district, diluting the votes of Memphis's 63% Black population and handing the entire state to Republicans. This move follows the Supreme Court's ruling to gut the Voting Rights Act. The new maps are expected to disproportionately affect Black working-class interests.
