The Supreme Court Just Declared War on Voting Rights. Here's How We Fight Back | Expert Panel
About this episode
The Supreme Court just gutted the Voting Rights Act in Louisiana v. Callais, delivering what Marc Elias calls the worst voting rights ruling in modern memory. The fight isn't over — but no new law can undo what the court just did. So what comes next, and how do we actually push back?
In this Democracy Docket panel, Marc Elias is joined by Damon Hewitt, president and executive director of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law; Leah Litman, University of Michigan law professor and co-host of Strict Scrutiny; and Rep. Jamie Raskin, ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee.
Together they break down the Callais ruling, the Supreme Court's pattern of dismantling voting rights, the threat to Black and Latino representation in Congress, and the real reforms that could turn this around.
