flag DOJ sues Tennessee county over redistricting plan that allegedly weakens Black voters' power.

flag The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against Fayette County, Tennessee, alleging that its 2021 redistricting plan violates the Voting Rights Act by diluting the voting power of Black residents. flag The DOJ claims the county's Board of Commissioners rejected plans that would have combined Black communities, preventing them from electing representatives of their choice. flag Since the new plan, no Black candidate has won a seat on the 19-member County Commission. flag The DOJ is seeking a court order to stop elections under the current plan and to declare it as diluting the strength of Black voters.
