Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee Signs Redrawn Congressional Map Into Law
The map eliminates the state’s lone Democratic seat.
Tennessee Republican Gov. Bill signed the redrawn Congressional into law, which eliminates the state’s lone Democratic seat.
A House committee advanced legislation about the map 6-2-1 earlier. The House and Senate penned in a vote to happen today.
The legislation breezed through the House and Senate this afternoon before landing on Lee’s desk.
Leftists lost their minds, staging protests inside and outside the building.
The Democratic lawmakers behaved no better.
BREAKING🚨: The Tennessee House just passed new Congressional maps that will wipe out the state’s only Democrat-held district.
As expected, Democrats in the chamber immediately erupted into screams and full meltdown mode. pic.twitter.com/JGLlKq4rb3

You’ll hear people like House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries complaining about the loss of minority representation.
Well, an old white man represents the lone Democratic seat in Tennessee.
In fact, Rep. Steve Cohen defeated a black female Republican candidate twice.
Psssst, Hakeem.
Steve Cohen ain't black, brother. https://t.co/6GF2BPsPIb pic.twitter.com/Jyur5zfdOb

Buh bye fried chicken Cohen!
Of course, Democrats aren’t *prevented* from running in any of these districts, they just can’t convince enough of the voters to elect them to office.
Put another way, they think that they deserve to be elected not because of the value of their ideas but because of what boxes they check.
Fortunately, with last week’s SCOTUS decision, we’re going to see more of this.
So proud of my home state!
It’s also worth pointing out that all the ones screaming how this is RAYCISSSS don’t seem to understand that this so-called ‘black district’ is represented by freaking STEVE COHEN, one of the whitest MFers in the country.
But redistricting out a white Democrat is RAYCISS, somehow.
Cohen’s race is not really relevant. The point is that the black majority in his district like him and want to keep electing him.
But the district was only drawn with a black majority because the courts said the state had to. Now that the supreme court has said no, they don’t have to, and indeed they can’t deliberately engineer a black majority, the legislature is taking advantage and saying we don’t want to.
So the black voters who will now be split between two districts, and not have a majority in either, are now being deprived of the opportunity to elect the person they want. They’ll each have to be represented by the person the majority of voters in their respective districts want, which will probably be a Republican (of whatever race the GOP decides it wants to nominate). In other words they’ll be treated exactly like the white voters of those districts, many of whom also prefer a Democrat but won’t be able to elect one. No more special privilege for black voters. That’s how it works.
Good. The Communists have been playing this game for a long time now, it’s time to catch up and to show them that they’re not the only ones who can.
Well, if it’s good enough for the D’s to control New England that way, then they are just showing how hypocritical they are.
This message is form Massachusetts, where we have no republican representation in congress: Suck it, bitches.
Why is Tennessee’s Republican redistricting any less reprehensible than Virginia’s Democratic redistricting? Virginia’s redistricting was at least ratified by popular vote, not merely by a partisan legislature.
It’s a matter of what laws apply. The Dem’s in Virginia broke their state’s laws to eliminate Republican representation. The Republicans in Tennessee broke no laws.
Va broke a long-standing law about the requirement for a panel of 12 (both parties) to work out a new map which is then presented to Richmond. Capisce?
It wasn’t long-standing. It was added to the state constitution in 2020. And the commission has 16 members, not 12.
“Why is Tennessee’s Republican redistricting any less reprehensible than Virginia’s Democratic redistricting?”
Why is Tennessee’s Republican redistricting any more reprehensible than the following states having zero Republican representation despite having 35% to 50% republican voters?
Connecticut
Delaware
Hawaii
Massachusetts
New Hampshire
New Mexico
Rhode Island
We all know. It’s because it’s (D)ifferent.
“Ratified by popular vote” is irrelevant. The only relevant consideration is what does the state constitution allow. TN’s and TX’s constitutions allow the legislature to redistrict, so they’ve done so. CA’s constitution didn’t allow that, so the Dems got the people to amend the constitution. VA tried to do the same thing, but they were short of time so they cut some corners and hoped the state supreme court would see things their way; it didn’t.
Memphis, lovely Democrat District that it was, had one of the highest crime rates of any city in the nation. It is worth disbandiing for that reason alone! Sheriffs in other parts of the state caution their citizens to stay AWAY from that area. Nuff said.
Currently Republicans are missing the rise of ai entirely in favor of arguing against it’s right to exist. Yes ai is here to stay, yes it is making American workers more efficient, and yes there is a major political bias in ai, and yes Republicans are repeating the mistake of ignoring the rise of social media in favor of arguing against it’s right to exist.
This lost Democrat district assuming it is actually lost because Gerrymandering tends not to produce results for very long if it produces at all will be matched by lost Republican districts.
Real issues right now outside of the economy?
1. Education
2. AI
Redistricting is the same every time it happens.
At least you have advanced to being a two-trick pony.
