The Voting Rights Act and the Callais Supreme Court Decision - Context and Analysis

The American Idea by Ashbrook Center

Episode notes

The United States Supreme Court handed down its decision on Louisiana v. Callais in early May, and it’s impossible to understand this 6-3 ruling without having some background knowledge of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and how courts between then and now have interpreted it. Don’t get lost in the political rhetoric surrounding this case; learn the background for yourself and make up your own mind.
