re: #6 Backwoods_Sleuth

The Court’s FedSoc wing decided there wasn’t enough time to act using the VRA to stop the Alabama legislature from disenfranchising blacks of their right to vote. Roberts made this possible when he overturned preclearance in Shelby.

This would have never passed muster under Shelby, but by killing preclearance, states were free to push these gerrymandered schemes to disenfranchise persons of color.

Now, they’re arguing that there’s not enough time to act to fix the districting. That’s total bullshit. They have the ability to set a time limit to impose new districts ahead of primaries and there’s enough time to get this done. They chose not to, thereby undermining the VRA even further.

Once again, the GOP attacks voting rights, and the Court gives them the tools to do it.
