Tennessee Republicans pass a map to break up the state’s lone Democratic House seat

State troopers remove people from the Tennessee House gallery on Thursday during a special session of the state legislature to redraw congressional voting maps.

Tennessee Republicans’ map would crack Shelby County — home to majority-Black Memphis — into three different districts, in an effort to eliminate the state’s lone remaining Democratic-held seat.
