Four in ten Tennesseans are Democrats, most of them concentrated in Nashville and Memphis. Even so, Democrats controlled only two of the nine House seats in 2020, when Nashville’s electoral district was further gerrymandered to disenfranchise Nashville Democrats and deliver to the Gangster-in-Chief another House stooge.
That left one Congressional seat held by Dems in Memphis, where the African-American population is over 50 percent.
With the recent evisceration of the Voting Rights Act by the Supreme Fascists Court, the Don has given his underling, Gov. Bill Lee, orders to call a special legislative session to chop up the Memphis electoral district before the Fall 2026 election in a desperate effort to steal the remaining House seat.
If democrats and Democrats don’t mobilize now, this will mean no representation for 40 percent of Tennesseans in the U.S. House of Representatives.
