On Thursday, July 24, 2026, a federal judicial panel allowed Tennessee to implement a new congressional map that divides a majority-Black district in Memphis. The decision came as the panel declined to issue a preliminary injunction against the map, effectively rejecting attempts to block the plan before the state’s primary elections scheduled for August.
The three-judge panel's ruling clears the way for Tennessee to use the new district boundaries despite concerns raised about the division of the majority-Black Memphis district.
