Judges in a Nashville Chancery Court ruled in favor of the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County (Metro) on Monday in a suit they filed against the state to at least temporarily block a bill signed by Gov. Bill Lee earlier this year that would have cut the city council in half.

The judge’s ruling in the case wrote that the law’s “last minute changes in district boundaries and voting locations create confusion for voters and candidates.”
