The Rollback and Ongoing Threats to Voting Rights
Manage episode 419799155 series 3572821
Back in October of 2023, The US Supreme Court heard a case involving an electoral map that has been proven in a court of law to be racist. That was in Alexander v. South Carolina State Conference of the NAACP. Since the nation's highest court failed to deliver an expedited ruling in, South Carolinians are going into the 2024 election with this racially gerrymandered map.
The consequences of a ruling in this case could not only change the course of the 2024 election, but it could undermine democracy itself. Listen as we explore a decades long effort to chip away at the 14th amendment and the Voting Rights Act in an effort to strip minority communities of their political power.
