About this episode

The episode discusses the Supreme Court's ruling on gerrymandering and its implications for the Voting Rights Act and future elections.

In a historic ruling, the Supreme Court has effectively declared it unconstitutional for legislatures to gerrymander based on race. This week, the guys unravel the convoluted history of how we got to Louisiana v. Callais —from the Civil War and the 15th amendment, through reconstruction, the Voting Rights Act in both its 1965 and 1982 versions. How will the Left respond with racial districting off the table as midterms and 2028 approach? What is the future of the Voting Rights Act? All this and more as The Roundtable's original hour-long length is RESTORED for a deep dive. Recommended: Is Hasan Piker the Face of the American Left?
