Tennessee Protesters March to State Capitol as Lawmakers Unveil Gerrymandered Congressional Map

HeadlineMay 07, 2026

In Tennessee, hundreds of protesters marched to the state Capitol in Nashville on Wednesday as lawmakers unveiled a gerrymandered congressional map that could see Republicans take control of all nine of Tennessee’s U.S. House seats. The General Assembly is expected to vote on the new map as soon as today. This comes after Tennessee lawmakers repealed their state’s longstanding ban on mid-decade redistricting and after the recent Supreme Court ruling gutting the Voting Rights Act set off a scramble by Southern states to gerrymander congressional districts ahead of November’s midterm elections.
