A remotely recorded podcast with Professor Torey Dolan and Professor Steve Wright at the University of Wisconsin Law School.
In a special edition of the Wisconsin Law In Action podcast, Professors Dolan and Wright both join us to discuss how the Voting Rights Act has been challenged and debated at the Supreme Court in recent years. Specifically, the discussion centers on Louisiana v. Callais, a case that was recently argued before the court and focuses on Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. Prof. Dolan, who submitted an amicus brief in the case on behalf of the Navajo Nation, discusses the potential impact that the case may have on voting rights for not only voters in Louisiana, but across the United States and highlights other cases that may impact voting rights. Prof. Wright, drawing on his experience working for the Department of Justice in bringing voting rights cases, explains adverse effects that the finding may bring about if Section Two is dismantled.
