“LWV is appalled to witness the Tennessee legislature deconstruct representative democracy in our state. Redistricting with the intent of silencing, the voices of the Black and Brown voters of Memphis/Shelby County is in affront to the very founding tenets of America.” -Debby Gould, LWVTN President
