Summary

This year’s partisan contest over redrawing political maps has been expanded – and extended – by the recent Supreme Court decision reframing a section of the Voting Rights Act. The last-minute rush is the latest sign that many election norms aren’t locked in stone. Also: today’s stories, including how President Donald Trump and President Xi Jinping are expected to discuss the future of AI in Beijing; how in Taiwan, people’s willingness to stand up to coercion from China is closely related to their trust in the United States; and whether legal code is enough to change society in Brazil, which has some of the toughest racism laws in the world. Join the Monitor's Ira Porter for today's news.
