In Wisconsin and around the country, the post-2020 redistricting cycle has been contentious. Disputes about the Voting Rights Act and about partisan gerrymandering have loomed especially large. Enjoy another virtual installment of the Election Matters 2022 series recorded on June 30th, 2022. This explores hot topics in redistricting law, with emphasis on the Voting Rights Act, and considers the proper role of courts and the fate of Section 2. Panelists include Michael Li (Brennan Center for Justice), Aseem Mulji (Campaign Legal Center), Erin Murphy (Clement & Murphy), and Professor Franita Tolson (USC Gould School of Law).
