ELB Podcast 7:3: The Supreme Court, the Voting Rights Act, and the 2026 Elections (Blencke, Katz, Ross)

What’s at stake for the Voting Rights Act at the Supreme Court in the pending Louisiana v. Callais case? Will the Court weigh in on the question whether private parties can sue to enforce Section 2 of the VRA, as was assumed by all until recently? What’s the big picture on the Voting Rights Act and the 2026 elections? On Season 7, Episode 3 of the ELB Podcast, we speak with Samantha Blencke, of the Native American Rights Fund, Ellen Katz of the University of Michigan, and Deuel Ross of the Legal Defense Fund.
