Today's Poll Question: Should Race Shape Voting Maps?

About this episode

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Should race be considered when drawing legislative boundary lines? The Supreme Court’s latest 6–3 decision on redistricting could have sweeping consequences for how political power is allocated across the country. Michael breaks down the complex Louisiana case at the center of the ruling, the clash between constitutional “colorblindness” and protections for minority representation, and what this means for the future of the Voting Rights Act. With potential ripple effects across Southern states and beyond, the episode explores whether fairness demands ignoring race—or confronting it directly. Listen here, then vote!
