"OH NOW IT'S WRONG?!': Laura Coates SHUTS DOWN Smug Scott Jennings

Scott Jennings tried to run his favorite talking point on a CNN panel about gerrymandering, insisting that one person, one vote means everyone is treated equally and there is no harm in redrawing the maps. Then Laura Coates, who worked in the voting section of the civil rights division, took it apart piece by piece. In this breakdown, Kathy covers the heated CNN panel where Laura Coates shut down Scott Jennings over redistricting, the Voting Rights Act, and the real effect of gerrymandering on Black voters. As Scott Jennings argued that diluting districts changes nothing because everyone still has a vote, Laura Coates explained why one person, one vote becomes a myth when communities are cracked and packed into maps that strip their voting power. Watch as the panel breaks down the federal court ruling in Alabama, where three judges, two of them appointed by Donald Trump, blocked a map they called tainted by intentional race-based discrimination, and the South Carolina state senate where fourteen Republicans defied Trump and killed his redistricting plan. This video covers Laura Coates, Scott Jennings, gerrymandering, the Voting Rights Act, and the larger fight over voting power and representation in America today.
