Redistricting fuels new push to boost turnout across Tennessee

On an early Saturday morning in Nashville, it was standing room only inside the classrooms of Tennessee’s only public historically Black university. But those inside weren’t students, and the lessons being shared weren’t accredited. On Aug. 29, the topic was voter suppression. “We’re worried about voter intimidation, misinformation and confusion caused by redistricting,” said Anna Dorman, counsel and clinical coordinator with Protect Democracy, a nonpartisan anti-authoritarianism group, as she led a session. “A lot of historical practice prepared for third parties doing that sort of action, but this year we’re prepared for threats from the actual federal government.” Behind her in the darkened room was a projector showing a flow chart with the words “Deceive, Disrupt, Deny” — actions the organization is concerned will be enacted by the federal government during the upcoming midterm elections. The focused silence in the audience was only occasionally broken by hums of agreement or the flipping of pages as listeners took rapid notes. The class was part of the annual Democracy Summit hosted by Organize Tennessee, a voter advocacy group. While the sessions have previously been focused on voter empowerment and engagement, this year, the topics have taken on a new urgency. Voting rights

Transparency column: The story of voting is never done

This project started like many other journalistic endeavors: a police chase. This is only partially a joke: on a very sunny morning in May, my colleague, photojournalist Nicole Hester, and I were driving through Franklin with the intention of surveying all of the newly redrawn 9th congressional district. Lawmakers approved and Gov. Bill Lee enacted the revised map into law on May 7 following a special legislative session . Approved by Republican lawmakers in a 25 to 5 vote, the new congressional map extensively edited Tennessee's former map, splitting Memphis into three districts and the Nashville area into five . The move effectively gutted what had been Tennessee’s only majority-Black district and led Democratic U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen to announce he would not seek reelection, after serving for 19 years. Days later Nicole and I had shifted from the cramped, cacophonous quarters of the Capitol to the rolling fields spanning the new district. Naturally, due to a trend in our luck that we joke about frequently, we found ourselves running after police officers instead of voters as we happened upon the scene of a bomb threat at Franklin High School. While the threat would later be revealed to be one
