田纳西州国会选区划分遭遇挑战，可能影响第九选区
Read, Watch or Listen
Memphis, Tenn. leaders and state lawmakers are confronting a proposed redrawing of congressional boundaries this week as Tennessee’s legislature returns to Nashville on Tuesday to consider maps that could eliminate the state's only reliably Democratic 9th District; the session follows a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that narrowed the use of race in redistricting. The special session, called by Gov. Bill Lee days after the Court’s 6–3 decision on a Louisiana map, prompted statements from Rep. Steve Cohen and NAACP organizers who said the plan could dilute the city's majority-Black voting bloc; lawmakers including Sen. Marsha Blackburn urged reconvening, and officials and legal teams signaled political and potential legal responses ahead of planned 2026 elections.

如果重新划分选区地图，将民主党选民分散到更广泛的选区，共和党州议员和农村地区将获得更多的国会席位和党派优势。
孟菲斯居民，特别是占多数的黑人社区，如果国会第九选区被分割，他们的投票力量将被稀释，在国会中的集中代表性也将减弱。
