Judge rejects challenge to block new GOP-favored House map in Tennessee
Campbell Jr. denied a request from several Black Memphis voters and organizations — represented by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and ACLU of Tennessee — to temporarily halt the use of a new GOP-favored House map in the Volunteer State until a three-judge panel could weigh the merits of their case. The voters argued in their filing that the new congressional map passed by Tennessee Republicans — which dismantles Rep. Steve Cohen’s (D-Tenn.) majority-Black district and creates a 9-0 GOP-favored House map — was racially discriminatory and was instituted in the midst of candidate filing deadlines before an upcoming August primary.
