Reactions

Speaker Pro Tempore Pat Marsh (R) said the congressional map was compliant with all federal and land laws and splitting Davidson Canton was beneficial to the area. "In the terminal x years, Davidson County has had one congressman in Washington, D.C. In this proposed plan, they will have three. I remember that's three times every bit good, three times more than representation," Marsh said.[17] Gov. Lee said he believed the legislature "made every endeavor to follow the police" in drafting the maps and saw "no reason that I wouldn't be signing information technology."[18] [19]

U.S. Rep. Jim Cooper (D), who appear his retirement on Jan 25, said, "This is a crisis for Nashville. Gerrymandering is an extinction issue for the political life of Nashville." Senate Minority Leader Jeff Yarbro (D) said the map would probable be challenged in court: "It'due south difficult to imagine y'all don't see this in litigation at some point. I can't imagine people don't look at this and say at that place are legal deficiencies."[18]

Congressional map

TN Congress.png

How does redistricting in Tennessee work? In Tennessee, both congressional and state legislative district boundaries are drawn by the state legislature. These lines are subject to veto past the governor.[xx]

The Tennessee Constitution requires that state Senate districts "preserve counties whole where possible." State statutes mandate that no more than than 30 counties may be split across districts. Furthermore, state police force requires that land legislative districts be contiguous. In that location are no such requirements in place for congressional districts.[xx]
