LawAn appeals court has struck down a key path for enforcing the Voting Rights Act
A federal appeals court has struck down a key path for enforcing the Voting Rights Act, potentially limiting its protections for people of color.
The dispute centers around who is allowed to sue to enforce Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, with the lower court ruling that only the U.S. attorney general can bring such lawsuits.
This ruling may set up a Supreme Court fight and could further limit the reach of the Voting Rights Act's protections for people of color. [ more ]
