Peter Schweizer: How Race-Based Districts Rig Elections Before the First Vote Is CastBreitbart News 22 Oct 2025
Voting security is always a hot topic around election time, but manipulation of our electoral system is a bigger problem that we have to worry about all the time.
On the most recent episode of The Drill Down podcast, we are not talking about stolen ballots, “ballot harvesting,” or other shenanigans that can happen during an election, but about how congressional districts are both drawn and apportioned. Two things recently in the news raise questions about how we do those things, and whether it’s still the best way.
As host Peter Schweizer asks, “What if an election can be rigged before the first ballot is even cast?”
Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson recently likened the drawing of “minority-majority” congressional districts to requiring accessibility for disabled people, arguing the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) didn’t assume there was ongoing discrimination against people with disabilities, only that buildings had to fix it wherever possible. Likewise, she said, congressional districts that are drawn specifically to maximize minority group voting power need not show that those groups are currently discriminated against. Pressing the metaphor, she went as far as calling Black voters “disabled.”
Schweizer summed up the counterargument to minority-majority districts as: “We shouldn’t create an injustice now because of an injustice in the past.”
