Democrats' Redistricting Plan Vote Is Stallled One Day
Nashville lawmakers face delay as the Tennessee Senate pauses to vote on a Democrats redistricting plan. With a 19 18 1 edge, defections by Sen Ray Baird and Sen William Davis could swing passage if two Black senators, J O Patterson and Avon Williams, vote yes. House approved measure would reshape nine districts into eight, potentially boosting Democratic seats to five or six. Wilder rules the conference report must lie over for a day keeping the bill from immediate action.
