Black Agenda Radio · Partisan Gerrymandering and Voting Rights

Michael Li is Senior Counsel in the Democracy Program at the Brennan Center for Justice. He joins us from New York City to discuss the issue of gerrymandering in the state of Kentucky. A case before that state’s supreme court will decide if partisan gerrymandering, which in this case favors republicans, violates that state’s constitution. Few efforts to defeat partisan gerrymandering in southern states have been successful so far and the loss of voting rights act enforcement has only increased the frequency of partisan gerrymandering.
