Tony, Ned, Steve, and Terri are taking election law talk to the field—the FIFA World Cup field. <br><br>Can the world’s biggest sports tournament teach us how to build a better ballot? The panel tackles the intricate mechanics behind FIFA’s group-stage tie-breaker rules and maps them directly onto modern democratic reforms. From debating head-to-head match outcomes against total group performance metrics, they explore how round-robin election structures, ranked-choice ballots, and real-time data tracking can foster a fairer, more expressive voting process for multi-candidate fields.</p> <p>Tune in for a fascinating breakdown of how sports and voting systems collide, proving that understanding complex rules might just be the ultimate goal.</p> <p></p>

Has the Voting Rights Act Reached Its End? | S2 E13
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <iframe title="Has the Voting Rights Act Reached Its End? | S2 E13" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/K94xrAoNPfQ?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div></figure> <p>Is the Voting Rights Act still standing? After the Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais, that’s no longer a rhetorical question—and few people are better positioned to answer it than Dan Tokaji. <br><br>Tokaji—Dean of the University of Wisconsin Law School, a leading election law scholar, and a founding member of Election Law at Ohio State—returns to walk the hosts through how we got here. His verdict is blunt: with Callais, the last major pillar of the VRA has fallen. He traces the line from Shelby County to Brnovich to today, shows how partisanship has quietly become a near-airtight defense against claims of racial discrimination, and names the human cost—fewer Black and Latino lawmakers, especially across the South. <br><br>But this isn’t a eulogy. Tokaji makes the case for a “lift all votes” strategy aimed at partisan gerrymandering, and points to where change is still possible: state courts, state constitutions, and the ballot box. The conversation digs into what actually keeps this fight alive—what counts as a remedy, whether proportional representation could help, and why some red states are choosing not to redraw their maps at all. He ends where the stakes are highest: with history, and a reason to keep hoping. <br><br>Guests & Hosts: Prof. Dan Tokaji (Dean and Professor of Law, University of Wisconsin Law School); Tony Gaughan, Ned Foley, Steven Huefner, and Terri Enns (Election Law at the Ohio State University Moritz College of Law). <br><br>Cases referenced: Mobile v. Bolden (1980), Thornburg v. Gingles (1986), Shelby County v. Holder (2013), Rucho v. Common Cause (2019), Brnovich v. DNC (2021), Allen v. Milligan (2023), Louisiana v. Callais (2026). <br><br>Follow Law & Democracy so you never miss an episode, and a rating or review goes a long way toward helping new listeners find us. Questions or comments? Email electionlaw@osu.edu. <br><br>Recorded Wednesday, June 17, 2026.</p>
