Tennessee Legislature Convenes Special Session On Redistricting
The Tennessee legislature began a special session on Wednesday to consider redrawing the state's congressional maps. The session aims to address legislative redistricting requirements. No specific timeline for the completion of the maps was provided. This action follows a U.S. Supreme Court decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act. Legislators are evaluating the impact on upcoming midterm elections. Candidates who previously qualified for elections may now be required to re-qualify due to the map changes.
