The opening day will include leading national experts and advocates discussing the legal and political landscape of redistricting nationally, reviewing the litigation and reform efforts of the past decade and previewing the current decennial redistricting cycle. Judge Wynn’s hybrid talk, “The Role of Judges and Justices in Redistricting,” will address why he believes the Supreme Court’s 2019 redistricting decision in Rucho v. Common Cause is an example of judicial activism. The featured event for the second day of the conference will be “Building Bipartisan Support for Redistricting Reform” (hybrid), a moderated conversation between Tom Ross (president, The Volcker Alliance and co-chair of North Carolinians for Redistricting Reform) and Art Pope (chairman, John William Pope Foundation).
