Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) said the Supreme Court’s Voting Rights Act decision has enabled politicians to redraw districts so they can "pick their voters rather than the voters picking" their representatives. "The Supreme Court did a lot of damage to our electoral system," Warnock told CBS News' Major Garrett.
" Georgia voters head to the polls Tuesday for statewide runoff elections. The contests will decide several state and local offices.
Warnock linked the court’s ruling to recent redistricting efforts across multiple states. He said the decision reduced the ability of voters to hold elected officials accountable. Election officials have not yet released turnout projections for Tuesday’s runoffs.
