Last week, a federal appeals court ruled that private individuals and groups, like the ACLU or NAACP, can't sue under a key section of the Voting Rights Act. It's a decision that could reshape the political landscape, at a time when states across the country are already fighting over district lines.Plus, ballots themselves come under scrutiny in Mississippi and Pennsylvania, in two examples of how voting policy can affect election outcomes.
This episode: White House correspondent Tamara Keith, voting correspondent Hansi Lo Wang, and political correspondent Ashley Lopez.
