[image: Gingles-Test-Voting-Rights-Act-Racial-Gerrymandering-Test.png] American Democracy Minute Radio News Report for May 27, 2025 Timely to Dec. 31, 2025
Five years into the redistricting cycle, we’re still litigating racially gerrymandered voting maps. 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.”
