The Supreme Court Just Gutted The Voting Rights Act. What Does This Mean For Your Vote?

After the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act last week, it’s fair to say this November’s midterm elections will be unlike any in recent memory. For Jamelle Bouie, a New York Times columnist and YouTube commentator, the decision proves one of many things: the court is unhappy with the ability of racial minorities to exercise power through political representation. In this episode, Jorge and Paola sit down with Bouie to unpack that idea, along with his broader claim that the Supreme Court is fundamentally corrupt. He also traces the origins of the Voting Rights Act from the Civil Rights Movement, argues why it still matters today, and explains how these changes could affect Black and Latino voters in this November and beyond.
