SCOTUS Strikes Down Alabama Maps That Limit Black Voter Power

SCOTUS Strikes Down Alabama Maps That Limit Black Voter Power

By a vote of 5-4, a coalition of liberal and conservative justices essentially upheld the court's 1986 decision requiring that in states where voting is racially polarized, the legislature must create the maximum number of majority-Black or near-majority-Black congressional districts, using traditional redistricting criteria. The surprise decisions could impact other states' maps as well.

And House Republican hardliners using procedural fights to disrupt the work of the chamber, lashing out after Speaker McCarthy's debt ceiling deal with the Biden administration.

This episode: White House correspondent Scott Detrow, voting correspondent Hansi Lo Wang, national political correspondent Mara Liasson, and congressional reporter Barbara Sprunt.
