A Republican-drawn map for Tennessee’s Senate seats violates the state Constitution and must be redrawn by the state’s General Assembly, a 2–1 panel on a Tennessee trial court ruled on Nov. 22.
The decision from the three-judge panel was issued in response to a lawsuit filed on behalf of three Democratic voters in February 2022 challenging Tennessee’s new state House and Senate maps which were passed by the Republican-supermajority Legislature in that same year.
