Show Notes

What happens when courts shape elections? And, is redistricting ever actually fair? In this episode of Independent Conversations, we attempt to answer these questions as Graham H. Walker sits down with Williamson M. Evers and Phillip W. Magness for a discussion on the fallout of Louisiana v. Callais. Together, they examine the distinction between racial and partisan gerrymandering, the legacy of the Voting Rights Act, the risks of court-imposed districting standards, and the deeper question of what representation should mean in a diverse democracy.
