NASHVILLE—The Tennessee Supreme Court heard oral arguments on May 21 over whether it should block the use of a new, Republican-leaning U.S. congressional map before the state’s midterms.
The case was brought by a series of groups, including the Tennessee State Conference of the NAACP and Shelby County Voters Alliance, after the map passed the Republican-led Tennessee General Assembly and was signed into law by Gov. Bill Lee on May 7.
