About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of the Supreme Court's decision on gerrymandering and its impact on political control in red states.
Reactions to red states' efforts to gerrymander their districts for expanding Conservatives' control following the Supreme Court's 6-3 decision in Louisiana v. Callais , the Supreme Court upended the legal framework of the Voting Rights Act. The ruling struck down a Louisiana congressional map that included a second majority-Black district, heavily narrowing Section 2 protections and restricting the use of race in redistricting lawsuits.
