  <title><![CDATA[Bankoff Publishes Op-ed on Voting Rights, Supreme Court]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://inta.gatech.edu/people/person/joseph-bankoff">Joseph Bankoff</a>, a Distinguished Professor of the Practice and former chair of the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, published an <a href="https://www.ajc.com/opinion/opinion-how-to-protect-real-integrity-of-elections/2KADHE2OHFGTJJ3EHJEBYA7MXU/">opinion piece</a> in the <em>Atlanta Journal-Constitution&nbsp;</em>on Jan. 8. The article is titled &ldquo;How to protect real integrity of elections.&rdquo;</p>

<p>In it, Bankoff discusses his displeasure with rulings by the Supreme Court in previous years that have affected voting rights. He specifically names the Court&rsquo;s decisions to strike down parts of the Voting Rights Act and to allow partisan redistricting by state legislatures. He argues that these decisions protect political parties over voters.</p>

         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
