This is one thing. I'm David Rind, and members of Congress are used to getting tough questions,

but not like this. One in particular was a lady in Shreveport who stood up and said, look,

why should I vote? You know, my vote really doesn't count. Stick around.

Mr. Clark, please take the vote.

That's how it sounded on Thursday afternoon in the Tennessee House of Representatives.

House Bill 7,003, having received a constitutional majority out hereby, a clerk passed

with objection to motion resetters table.

The reason it sounded more like a cattle auction than a legislative session is because of what

they were voting on, a new congressional map.

Tennesseeans don't want this.

We're better than this.

Across the state.

This was unpopular.

They're not even bringing it back.

They're enhancing what is left of Jim Crow.

Republicans approved a new map that splits up the only district held by a Democrat in the entire

state. This district encompasses the majority black city of Memphis, redrawing the voter map

essentially makes Democratic and minority influence insignificant. Protesters and Democratic lawmakers

were outraged.

They said their voices were being silenced.

Today, you'll take the only majority black district from us.

But I want you to know, and I want my nephew's sons and the future to know, no matter what
