South Carolina State Conference of the NAACPSince the nation's highest court failed to deliver an expedited ruling in, South Carolinians are going into the 2024 election with this racially gerrymandered map.

The consequences of a ruling in this case could not only change the course of the 2024 election, but it could undermine democracy itself.  Listen as we explore a decades long effort to chip away at the 14th amendment and the Voting Rights Act in an effort to strip minority communities of their political power.
