Sherrilyn Ifill - What Happened to the Voting Rights Act? | The Daily Show

Sherrilyn Ifill argues that the Supreme Court’s Louisiana v. Callais decision effectively removes the remaining force of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act after Section 5 was gutted in 2013. She traces how the law expanded Black political representation and says protecting voting rights now requires overwhelming electoral participation, new federal legislation, action against partisan gerrymandering and Supreme Court reform.
