- Description
- The Purcell principle is a legal concept in U.S. election law that dictates federal courts should not alter state voting rules, district maps, or election procedures too close to an election. That is, unless you’re a Republican state. Marc Elias breaks down the contradictory nature of the Supreme Court when it comes to using Purcell, and what this means for the redistricting fight ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

- The Supreme Court just gutted the Voting Rights Act in Louisiana v. Callais, delivering what Marc Elias calls the worst voting rights ruling in modern memory. The fight isn't over — but no new law can undo what the court just did. So what comes next, and how do we actually push back?
In this Democracy Docket panel, Marc Elias is joined by Damon Hewitt, president and executive director of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law; Leah Litman, University of Michigan law professor and co-host of Strict Scrutiny; and Rep. Jamie Raskin, ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee.
Together, they break down the Callais ruling, the Supreme Court's pattern of dismantling voting rights, the threat to Black and Latino representation in Congress, and the real reforms that could turn this around.

After shots were fired at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner Saturday night, the White House is attempting to pin the blame for repeated assassination plots against President Donald Trump on elected Democrats, members of the media and political commentators.
Since a gunman shot a federal officer at a hotel in D.C. where Trump was hosting the dinner, prominent figures on the right — including sitting members of Congress and people with close ties to the White House — have called for a crackdown on the political left.
Leavitt’s remarks from the White House podium amplified those calls, but conveniently ignored the fact that Trump’s history of regularly using inciting and violent rhetoric against his political opponents.
