Last week’s Easy A provided an easy explainer on gerrymandering, which is the purposeful drawing of voting districts to unfairly favor a certain group or political party.
We learned that while gerrymandering is not necessarily illegal, Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 does make gerrymandering on the basis of race illegal – and we’re at risk of losing that protection!
Right now, the U.S. Supreme Court is deciding Louisiana v. Callais, which will determine if Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act remains constitutional.
Janai Nelson, President and Director-Counsel of the Legal Defense Fund, argued this case before the Court. Take 90 seconds to watch this video and hear what she recently told us about how this ruling could reshape redistricting and fair representation across the country.
Then come back next week to take one more easy action to fight gerrymandering!
