On the latest episode of Nir & Rupar, our live weekly video show, David Nir of The Downballot and Aaron Rupar of Public Notice discuss the fallout from the Virginia Supreme Court’s decision to invalidate the state’s new congressional map.

David and Aaron discuss:
Why the court’s ruling was based on very questionable procedural grounds — and overturns the will of a majority of Virginia voters.
How Republicans throughout the South are racing to dismantle Black districts following the demise of the Voting Rights Act, including an extreme assault that carved Memphis into three parts.
Why Democrats can still take back the House despite the GOP’s turbocharged gerrymandering.
And much more. We also took several excellent questions from viewers.
