re: #17 EPR-radar
BTW, killing the VRA is not an exaggeration. In jurisdictions bound and determined to suppress the minority vote, an effective pre-clearance regime is the only option. Otherwise, it is a perpetual game of legal whack-a-mole.
I actually agree with you on the bolded portion. But there’s good reason to believe that Shelby County is no longer such a place, and it really isn’t fair to them to be lumped in with jurisdictions that are.
The proper thing to do now would be for Congress to write a new formula. But that won’t be likely to happen till the House GOP gets out of honey badger mode.
