The Supreme Court Just Went on Break. Here's Why We Can't.
from Defending Democracy with Marc Elias · host Democracy Docket
The Supreme Court's term just ended, and the results were mixed for voting rights. Democracy Docket founder Marc Elias breaks down the wins — including a 5-4 ruling protecting mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day — and the losses, including Louisiana v. Callais, which gutted Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, and the Slaughter case, which lets Trump fire independent agency officials at will (except at the Federal Reserve). But there's no time to sit with these rulings. Trump doesn't accept a loss and move on. With 196 voting cases pending nationwide and the midterms just four months away, Marc explains why the pro-democracy movement needs to stay ready for what comes next.
