Rep. Clarke rips Tennessee’s ‘rigged’ congressional maps

Caribbean-American Democratic Congresswoman Yvette D. Clarke, chair of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), on Thursday, May 7, strongly condemned what she describes as the “rigged” Tennessee congressional maps.

On May 7, Tennessee joined Florida in passing new congressional districts after the United States Supreme Court’s ruling in Louisiana v. Callais gutted Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA).
