“I actually testified today, Doug, in front of the Tennessee Senate because they actually qualified for their elections two months ago. They've now drawn new lines that target Memphis, Tennessee, has a 61% black population. It's the second largest city, but it has the largest concentration of black folks in Tennessee. And they have now accidentally divided them into thirds into three different districts, which means they don't hit majority in any single district.” (08:00–08:06)
