Well, ladies and gentlemen, the midterms might be over before they even get started.

0:04.9

And the reason why is because of a particular court case before the Supreme Court today.

0:09.4

We're actually going to talk about what this could mean for a particular article within the Voting Rights Act.

0:16.1

Now, this is always a very, very controversial topic.

0:18.8

And of course, whenever there's any mention of it, the left always accuses everybody

0:22.2

of being a racist.

0:23.3

But there have been some, let's say some significant problems with elements of the Voting

0:29.2

Rights Act.

0:29.8

Now, of course, we want everybody who's legally permitted to vote to be able to vote.

0:33.8

But when you have to draw districts in the way that this sometimes requires, it does

this current supreme court case um Louisiana versus is it call Callis, Callis, Calais, Calais.

1:46.4

Oh, if we tried to pronounce it, there would be somebody from Louisiana that would come back.

1:50.6

So this started off as a lawsuit over Louisiana's, or Louisiana's congressional map.
