Republican lawmakers said the corresponding legislation for the proposed map “modernizes Tennessee’s redistricting process by removing racial data from the mapmaking process entirely,”
Even if the district looks like an upside-down U in that map, the current map is worse!
Seems like an odd way to divide the map. The east side looks pretty good, but the west looks really weird.
THis map is as gerrymandered as the state maps we want to get rid of. I would not support this redistrcting.
Districts should be compact and maintain existing governement subdivisions as possible (ie. cities and towns). This map does the oppostire on both fronts.
