Voting rights setback

Undoubtedly on its way to the Supreme Court.  It's generally assumed the Supreme Court will rule with the 5th Circuit, but who knows in this environment?  Pretty sure Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch will go with the 8th Circuit, and would probably wish they could reverse the entire VRA.

Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 prohibits voting practices or procedures that discriminate on the basis of race, color, or membership in one of the language minority groups identified in Section 4(f)(2) of the Act. Most of the cases arising under Section 2 since its enactment involved challenges to at-large election schemes, but the section's prohibition against discrimination in voting applies nationwide to any voting standard, practice, or procedure that results in the denial or abridgement of the right of any citizen to vote on account of race, color, or membership in a language minority group. Section 2 is permanent and has no expiration date as do certain other provisions of the Voting Rights Act.

Stop electing Republicans!

UPDATE 12/16/2023:  The 5th Circuit disagrees.  This will definitely be going to the Supreme Court.
