[image: Gingles-Test-Racial-Gerrymandering-VRA-Violations-20241129.png] The American Democracy Minute Radio Report & Podcast for Nov. 29, 2024 *Brian’s off today, but we’re posting an evergreen from earlier this year. Have a great holiday!*
Today, we’re looking at a principle called the “Gingles Test” that federal courts use when determining whether a gerrymandered redistricting map is a violation of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. How that test is interpreted can determine whether minority voters can elect the candidate of their choice, or their vote is diluted by an anti-voter state legislature.
In greater Concord, NH hear ADM on www.WNHNFM.org/live <www.wnhnfm.org/live> just before 11 AM Eastern M-F, or ask your smart speaker to “Play the American Democracy Minute Podcast.”
