Episode Details

Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn is proposing a special session to redraw congressional maps, aiming to secure another Republican seat by splitting Memphis ninth district, currently held by Democratic Rep Steve Cohen. This move comes after the Supreme Courts recent ruling, which allows states more flexibility in drawing boundaries. Critics argue this is gerrymandering, as redistricting typically occurs every ten years post-census, not mid-decade. With midterms approaching and several seats open, expect more map battles nationwide, as Tennessees move highlights the tight House fight.
