The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday ordered lower courts to reconsider a Voting Rights Act case brought by Native American tribes, revisiting a closely watched ruling on how the Civil Rights-era law is enforced, as liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, arguing the court should have outright reversed the lower court decisions.
It follows a recent high court ruling narrowing voting rights protections, raising the bar for legal challenges to election maps.
The cases affect Native American voters and others nationwide, with courts now reassessing whether private groups can continue bringing key voting rights lawsuits.
The justices sent back a North Dakota dispute after the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that only the federal government—not voters or advocacy groups—can sue under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, breaking with long-standing precedent.
Advocacy groups have historically filed most lawsuits under Section 2, making the appeals court’s finding a major shift in enforcement of the law.
Looks like SCOTUS just removed another tool from the dem's toolbox.
Good, all those leftist advocacy groups are funded by dark money.
