On todays Show Madelynn and the Fearsome Threesome talk about he legal case of Robinson vs. Callais, involving Louisiana's redistricting post-2020 census. The plaintiffs, primarily black political participation groups, argued that the new districts violated the Voting Rights Act by using tactics like packing and cracking to dilute black voting power. The court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, citing the Thornburg v. Jingles test, which requires minority groups to be sufficiently large and geographically compact. The court ordered Louisiana to redraw its maps to provide more opportunities for black voters. The conversation also touched on the broader implications of gerrymandering and the role of race in redistricting. Don't miss it!
