The answer could well be in the American South.
Memphis, Tennessee. The home of the blues, now being forced red.
It's one of the most Democratic cities in America- but it's now caught in a national political battle.
Ahead of a crucial midterms, Tennessee legislators redrew the state’s voting maps — erasing the only majority-Black congressional district in the state. It's now likely to become a Republican area.
The process is called redistricting.
Critics call it voter suppression.
Supporters call it politics.
Either way, it’s reshaping who holds power in America.
