SCOTUS Reshapes Voting Landscape
from The Weekend Hosted by Jackie Alemany, Jonathan Capehart, Eugene Daniels, Skye Perryman, Melissa Murray, Miles Taylor, Michael Feinberg
May 2, 2026, 8 AM; In the name of disentangling race from voting, the Supreme Court has made it virtually impossible for Black voters to challenge gerrymandered congressional maps. For decades, Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act acted as a guardrail, preventing Southern legislatures from carving Black voters out of political power. Within hours of that ruling, states across the South began moving to redraw their maps ahead of the midterms. President and CEO of Democracy Forward Skye Perryman and Melissa Murray join The Weekend to discuss how this will affect voting and the midterms.
