What Can Stop the Redistricting Wars?
In this episode of Politics in Question, Lee and James discuss the Supreme Court's recent redistricting ruling and what it means for American democracy. The case out of Louisiana — in which the Court's conservative majority struck down a majority-Black congressional district — has helped unleash a mid-decade gerrymandering frenzy, with Texas, California, Florida, and Virginia all redrawing their maps.
What are the political consequences of these decisions? Is mid-decade redistricting the new normal? What does this mean for the future of governance? These are some of the questions Lee and James explore.
