10.26.2023 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: GA Maps Violate Voting Rights Act, N.C. Maps Favor GOP, Miss. Gov.'s Race,Honoring Richard Roundtree
North Carolina's newly approved Congressional map brings significant gains for the Republican Party, favoring Republicans in 10 of the state's 14 seats in the U.S. House. We'll talk to a state democratic legislator about how this will affect black and brown representations.
A federal judge in Georgia ruled the state's congressional and legislative maps discriminate against Black voters, violating the Voting Rights Act. The state must draw new maps before next year's congressional elections. Cliff Albright will be here to discuss this victory.
Mississippi's gubernatorial election is heating up. The state's democratic party chair will be here to explain how important it is for Mississippi voters to get to the polls.
And we continue our tribute to Richard Roundtree, who passed away Tuesday from pancreatic cancer.
