They gerrymandered Nashville a couple of years ago breaking 160 years of"tradition" because the state of Tennessee could not stand having a blue state capital.

And it's not like the blue voters in Nashville could turn this state purple even.. But the elected officials in the capital were so petty they just could not let it be blue

Nothing like making sure whole swaths of your population isn't represented by their elected officials

Didn't Tennessee also expel 5 representatives because of reasons who then won their own special elections?

Three. But yes they did. There's some really major bullshit going on in the state house of Tennessee.
