Summary
Last week’s US Supreme Court ruling on Louisiana’s election map has gutted the landmark federal Voting Rights Act. That’s according to Shahidah Ali, the Political Action Committee Chair for the Rhode Island Coalition of Black Women, and John Marion, the executive director of Common Cause Rhode Island. They join host Edward Fitzpatrick to react to the high court ruling and talk about a proposed Rhode Island Voting Rights Act that would prohibit voter suppression on the local level. Tips and ideas?
