A city divided: What redistricting means for Tennessee voters By Bianca Flowers, David Hood-Nuño and Ally Levine Oct 19 - The city of Memphis used to sit almost entirely in one congressional district. The new map splits residents from neighbors across the street, each now belonging to districts with voters halfway across the state who have different needs and interests.
在孟菲斯重新划区四年前，共和党人曾在纳什维尔绘制新选区图时采用了类似策略。
Four years before the Memphis redistricting, Republicans used a similar strategy in drawing new maps for Nashville.
