On this episode of The Enemies List, Rick is joined by Sherrilyn Ifill. Sherrilyn is a lawyer and author and former President and Director-Counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. Together, they discuss America's historical issues with voting rights, predominantly in African American communities. Sherrilyn describes the areas of the country where voting rights are at their weakest, what segregation looks like in modern day America, the Supreme Court's decimation of Section 5, and if she thinks Trump can be kept off the ballot in 2024.
You can follow Sherrilyn on Twitter @SIfill_ and both of her books are available now.
