24:33Now PlayingTrump’s March 31 executive order on mail voting and voter lists is now being challenged in federal court, with Democrats and civil rights groups arguing the president exceeded his constitutional authority over elections. At the same time, Louisiana lawmakers are moving to redraw congressional lines after the Supreme Court’s Louisiana v. Callais decision, with the state Senate passing a bill that would eliminate one of Louisiana’s two majority-Black congressional districts.
This is not just another voting-rights story.
This is a constitutional stress test.
Who controls the voter lists?
Who controls mail ballots?
