The Contested Future of Voting Rights

In this episode, Expand Democracy President Rob Richie speaks with Todd Cox, Associate Director-Counsel of the Legal Defense Fund, about the alarming impact of Supreme Court rulings—including Louisiana v. Callais—on the Voting Rights Act and the broader mission for a multiracial democracy. Together, they outline an affirmative agenda to restore and protect voter access, exploring key solutions ranging from state-level Voting Rights Acts and proportional voting systems to DC statehood and federal anti-gerrymandering reforms.
