The Maps and charts provide evidence that racial gerrymandering took place by comparing Tennessee’s congressional districts before and after the 2022 redistricting.This shows a clear shift in the racial makeup of certain districts—especially District 5. Furthermore, the scatterplot of Davidson County precincts confirms that precincts with more nonwhite voters strongly supported the Democratic candidate, Kamala Harris. Splitting these voters into multiple Republican-leaning districts likely diluted their political power.
