Tennessee and Alabama Take Steps to Redraw House Maps After Supreme Court Ruling
Following a Supreme Court ruling that narrowed the Voting Rights Act, Tennessee and Alabama are taking steps to redraw their congressional maps. Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has called a special session to potentially split the state's sole Democratic district, while Alabama Governor Kay Ivey is preparing for a special session to address the state's House map. The Supreme Court's decision has provided states with the opportunity to alter their maps, potentially increasing Republican representation. The ruling has sparked a scramble across southern states to adjust their congressional districts, with implications for minority representation.
