ICYMI: The Voting Rights Act Was Born Out of His District. Now It's Under Threat
Elections are about voters choosing their political leaders. What happens when a redrawn map lets politicians choose their voters? Many argue that the Alabama State Legislature's push to redraw congressional districts is doing just that.

Alabama Congressman Shomari Figures joins Hari Sreenivasan to discuss the implications of the Court's recent ruling.
