More states on Friday began planning special sessions next week to revisit their congressional maps as they consider the fallout from a Supreme Court ruling this week limiting the Voting Rights Act.
Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee joined Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey in announcing a special session as states race to respond to the court ruling as they prepare for this year’s midterm elections.
“We owe it to Tennesseans to ensure our congressional districts accurately reflect the will of Tennessee voters,” Lee said in a statement.
