Tennessee became the first state to redistrict after the U.S.

Supreme Court ruled that lawmakers don't need to consider race when drawing new maps.

But it's still top of mind for NAACP attorney Anthony Ashton after the new map divided Memphis.

The NAACP is asking the court to block the maps, arguing that it's too close to the election.

But the state argues it's too late to change them back, with all counties except Nashville's on track to implement the new map.
