b"Encore: Original airdate 6-8-2023. On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 Some surprisingly good news from our wildly corrupted U.S. Supreme Court on voting rights and racial gerrymandering. In a 5-4 ruling, Justices Roberts and Kavanaugh surprisingly voted with the liberal justices to strike down racially-gerrymandered maps in Alabama. The ruling is a stunning departure from the rightwing court majority's years-long efforts to hack away at the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965. Gerrymandering expert and author DAVID DALEY of FairVote explains the details of the ruling, the history of the rightwing court majority's efforts to dismantle voting rights and fair elections, and the decision's potential effects on the 2024 election and ongoing voting rights lawsuits in 10 states. In the U.S. House, the gerrymandered GOP majority is busy eating itself alive amid a mutiny by its far-right faction that has shut down the chamber.
