Political Rewind: Supreme Court's View On Election Law; Greene's Incendiary Rally Rhetoric Continues
Tuesday on Political Rewind: Voting rights experts are assessing the impact of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in an Arizona voting case. The July 1 decision will make it harder to challenge new voter rules put in place by Republican lawmakers following the 2020 election. Advocates also worry the decision will further weaken federal laws designed to protect the rights of minority voters. What might that mean for the many challenges to Georgia\u2019s new election law?\n\nAlso, award-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones announced she would not be taking a tenured position at University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill following a drawn-out, contentious hiring process. Instead, the New York Times journalist will be the inaugural Knight Chair in Race and Journalism at Howard University's School of Communications\n\nMeanwhile, sharing a rally stage in Ohio with former President Donald Trump over the weekend, Georgia U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene launched a grievance-filled rant calling for the firing of Anthony Fauci, encouraging the crowd\u2019s chant to \u2018lock him up.\u2019 She also called New York U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a 'little communist.' How far will her strident attacks carry her with the far-right base?\n\nPanelists:\n\nDr. Charles Bullock \u2014 Professor of Political Science, University of Georgia\n\nLeroy Chapman Jr. \u2014 Managing Editor, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution\n\nRiley Bunch \u2014 Reporter, GPB News
