The request describes Harris County, but the only source concerns Memphis, Tennessee, where Republican lawmakers voted this year to divide the Black-majority 9th Congressional District into three districts with Black populations of 29%, 29% and 31%, a move enabled by the Supreme Court's spring ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, which limited the use of race in drawing districts while leaving room for partisan map-making. Critics, including longtime Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen, say the new map could leave Memphis (a Mississippi River city of over 600,000, about 63% Black) without a congressional representative from the city itself, while supporters argue it ties the city to its rural neighbors and secures Republican control. The dispute is at the centre of a national debate over what representation means, with the fast-growing South set to gain House seats after the 2030 reapportionment.
