When the Supreme Court gutted protections from the Voting Rights Act in Shelby County v. Holder in 2013, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote an immortal dissent comparing the majority's reasoning that the provisions were no longer necessary to throwing out an umbrella when one is dry. Common Cause director of voting and elections Syvia Albert believes that Ginsburg's warning is increasingly relevant. "We're about to be soaked to the bone," Albert predicted. In a wide-ranging interview, Albert breaks down the Supreme Court backdrop allowing a flood of legislation restricting ballot-access, the countermovement to expand voting rights, and a new high court drama that she believes could remove the last part of the Voting Rights Act that "still has teeth."See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
