Businessman Michael B. Moore is running a surprising congressional campaign: He\u2019s trying to win as a Democrat in South Carolina\u2019s 1st Congressional District, a seat that is considered solidly Republican in this election cycle. While he won his primary race, it\u2019s unlikely he\u2019ll win the general election because of a recent Supreme Court decision on gerrymandering.
Host Martine Powers speaks with voting issues reporter Patrick Marley about Moore\u2019s race, and what it can tell us about the impact of a conservative Supreme Court on American democracy.
Today\u2019s show was produced by Rennie Svirnovskiy. It was edited by Reena Flores and mixed by Sean Carter.
