Federal judges have reached a decision regarding the disputed 2022 redrawing of Tennessee’s congressional districts, which critics claim weakened the voting power of Black and Democratic voters.
According to the Associated Press, a panel of three federal judges ruled on August 28, dismissing a 2023 lawsuit that challenged the redistricting.
In their decision, the judges noted, “In sum, the complaint alleges facts that are consistent with a racial gerrymander,” but also pointed out, “the facts are also consistent with a political gerrymander.”
