The Supreme Court issued a ruling that will allow a gerrymander in South Carolina to stand, on the basis that it was done for partisan, not racial, reasons. 

**On Today's Show:**Ari Berman, voting rights correspondent for Mother Jones and author of *Minority Rule: The Right-Wing Attack on the Will of the People—and the Fight to Resist It *(Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2024), explains how this will affect voters in South Carolina and beyond, and explains the larger voting rights context of the decision.
