Tennessee state Republican lawmakers proposed a new congressional map that would lessen the already small Democratic representation in the state and eliminate Black political power within the delegation sent to Washington. The move comes after the federal Supreme Court ruled earlier this month that enforcement mechanisms from lower courts for the Voting Rights Act (VRA) - including rulings requiring state map-drawers to draw Black-majority districts when relevant - were unconstitutional, a drastic decision that many legal experts contend essentially dismantled the law altogether.
