According to the League of Women Voters, “Voting is a fundamental principle, and all Americans deserve the equal opportunity to make their voices heard in our democracy.” Yet over the years, various states have suppressed voters from reaching the ballot box through various methods like strict ID laws, purging voter rolls, and cutting early voting. Gerrymandering, defined as “to manipulate the boundaries of (an electoral constituency) so as to favor one party or class” has taken center stage when it comes to voting in elections. Just recently, SCOTUS decided to take up a South Carolina racial gerrymandering case, a lower court decision that struck down a congressional district in South Carolina as an illegal racial gerrymander. This case will be heard by SCOTUS next term. In this episode, host Craig Williams joins guest, professor Ruth Greenwood, Director of the Election Law Clinic at Harvard Law School. Craig and Ruth discuss election law, voting rights, gerrymandering, and SCOTUS and the South Carolina racial gerrymandering case.

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Kristen Hardin, the author of a new Christian children's book entitled Miss Mary- A Tale of Old County Clare. Too often, those in their twilight years no longer feel valued.-God created each of us, including the elderly, in His image. Sadly, our culture has become increasingly hostile to the elderly. Kristen Hardin underscores not only the value of senior citizens, but also the importance of the body of Christ ministering to them in their need.--Based on Kristen's grandmothers, Alice Hammer and Ruth Greenwood, she was inspired to create the fictional Miss Mary in County Clare, Ireland who is busy doing things for other people. But what happens when she's the one who needs a helping hand- This sweet story seeks to warm hearts and share truths about giving and receiving.--In addition to getting to know her two grandmothers, you'll learn about Kristen's childhood, salvation, love of family, and how she got to know her husband.--This program includes---1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -Black Lives Matter flag can fly over U.S. embassies, Arrested at border-13 with sex crime convictions, Christian children's author affirms ministry to the elderly---2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
Ruth Greenwood, co-director of the Campaign Legal Center and litigator for key gerrymandering cases at the Supreme Court (Gill v. Whitford, Rucho v. Common Cause), speaks to us about battles for redistricting in the court and on the ground.
Counting of millions of postal votes continues in Georgia, Arizona, Nevada and Pennsylvania as well as North Carolina and Alaska. Without evidence, Donald Trump alleges fraud and maintains the counting must be stopped - his campaign team has launched legal action in four states. Trump and Biden supporters are gathered outside vote counting centres. Kathryn speaks with Ruth Greenwood, Harvard law lecturer and Director of the Voting Rights Litigation and Advocacy Clinic.

Ensuring that elections are free and fair is far from a settled matter in the United States, with courts frequently asked to settle disputes about virtually every element of election administration. In 2020, President Trump and his supporters contend that vote by mail is rife with fraud (in an election cycle where COVID will help drive demand for mail balloting to record levels) and that an election loss would constitute evidence of a rigged election. The vacancy following the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg further heightens the tension around the role of the court in the election. Trump’s opponents are casting the election and access to the polls as a struggle for voting rights and democracy itself. Interest groups allied with both sides of politics are launching or preparing for post-election litigation in multiple jurisdictions. What issues are being litigated, by whom, and where? How are these legal challenges being funded? What constitutional and legal arguments are being deployed? What likely role for the US Supreme Court, and what might be the likely outcome? And for the eventual winner, will their victory and governing authority be accepted as legitimate by the American people and the world? To discuss these issues, USSC hosted a webinar event featuring Ruth Greenwood, Co-Director of the Voting Rights and Redistricting Program at the Campaign Legal Center in conversation with United States Studies Centre CEO Professor Simon Jackman.

In response to Wisconsin's April 7th primary held during the middle of the COVID pandemic--overturning the postponement order by the state's Governor--host Jefferson Smith discusses partisan politics, gerrymandering, and the primary's surprising results with a panel that includes David Daley, author of "Ratf**ked: Why Your Vote Doesn't Count," Ruth Greenwood from Campaign Legal Center, and Jay Heck from Wisconsin Common Cause.
