Racial Gerrymandering vs. Political Gerrymandering
This chapter delves into a case of racial gerrymandering in South Carolina where the Supreme Court ruled against finding evidence of discriminatory intent, making it challenging to address similar cases in the future. The episode compares racial gerrymandering, which dilutes the influence of minority voters, with political gerrymandering, which has been deemed acceptable in past cases, raising questions on proving discriminatory intent in redistricting.
