Democracy Watch episode 132: Marc Elias discusses the Supreme Court's long-awaited decision in South Carolina.SIGN UP: https://www.democracydocket.com/btc-s...
The #SupremeCourt upheld a #SouthCarolina congressional map, easing #Republican #racialgerrymandering. The 6-3 decision, authored by Justice #SamuelAlito, dismissed prior findings of racial bias due to insufficient evidence. This ruling, criticized by Justice #ElenaKagan, raises the proof bar for gerrymandering cases, potentially weakening #VotingRights for minorities and reinforcing GOP electoral advantages.
EXTREME GERRYMANDERING, INCLUDING RACIAL GERRYMANDERING, IS OKAY BECAUSE COURTS DON'T GET AROUND TO RULING THAT THEY ARE ILLEGAL, EVIDENTLY
UNREAL legal development upends 2024 election

"Unreal" is the word. Week after week, Brian Tyler Cohen and Marc Elias put out these vital and highly valuable discussions about the fight for voting rights. These talks are about really slow moving processes and, thus, they may not seem anywhere near as interesting as other things going on, such as Donald Trump's crookery; but they have everything to do with the kind of country we are going to be living in. So, I strongly suggest watching this video and the others in the "Democracy Watch" series. We are either going to win these fights or we are all going to sink into the Bog of Eternal Stench.

The court's three liberal justices dissented as the conservative majority in a brief order said Republican-led Galveston County could use a map drawn in 2021 that challengers said wiped out the county's only majority-minority precinct in violation of the Voting Rights Act.
