But a key factor in the race was Tennessee’s newly redrawn congressional districts, which state Republicans pushed through after the Supreme Court’s April ruling gutting the Voting Rights Act. Tennessee used to have one majority-Black district, its 9th congressional district, but that was broken apart and absorbed into the state’s other majority-Republican districts, including Ogles’s 5th district. In Thursday’s primary, 82 percent of the district’s voters were newly added. Two years ago, the FBI even executed a search warrant on Ogles related to his financial misdeeds, seizing his phone in the process. Ultimately, it didn’t win Ogles any favors from his new constituents, who sent him packing.
