Republicans sliced Nashville into three G.O.P.-leaning congressional districts in 2022. After the Supreme Court decision on voting rights, Memphis could be next.
Gov. Jeff Landry (R) issued an order pausing next month's primaries until lawmakers can approve a new map, which could help the GOP gain one or two seats in the state this fall.
The expected flood of new congressional maps is likely to produce fewer competitive districts, fewer ways for voters to hold elected officials accountable and more polarized politics.
