NOLA Court Clerk Un-Elected

Redistricting Update w/Elie Mystal

Tennessee Redistricting

CTAs

On episode 130 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers are joined by guest Elie Mystal. 

 

Elie Mystal is an author, commentator, and the justice correspondent for The Nation. His fiery prose on the Supreme Court and legal issues writ large are unmatched, and in a seismic week for voting rights America, it’s a good time to welcome Elie home. 

 

The Supreme Court has fast-tracked their recent ruling which gutted what remained of the Voting Rights Act. They are allowing Southern states to change their electoral maps BEFORE the midterm elections, which will almost certainly dilute Black voting power. Our SCOTUS expert, Elie Mystal, weighs in. 





FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS:

 

1. Primary Results in Ohio and Indiana test President Trump’s influence on Republican Primaries. 

 

2. The Detroit News caught a Michigan Senate candidate calling for intimidation at Detroit polling precincts. 

 

3. Trump’s Medicaid cuts are becoming a reality in Nebraska, where they went into effect on May 1st. It will be the first test of how many people lose their insurance due to new work requirements. 

 

4. Trump Praises the Confederate General, Robert E. Lee, and says that he almost won the Civil War. 

 

5. South Carolina State University rescinded an invitation to SC’s Lt. Governor Pamela Evette to speak at graduation. In response, South Carolina Republican officials threatened to pull SCSU’s funding. 

 

6. On Sunday, a federal judge reinstated New Orleans Court Clerk, Calvin Duncan. But then Louisiana won an appeal with the 5th US Circuit Court to keep Duncan out of office… for now. Calvin Duncan was democratically elected, winning 68% of the vote.
