The article's last paragraph says what it's all about:

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit ruled in July that the law violated the federal Voting Rights Act, but it did not toss out the law in its entirety. Instead, in a 9-6 ruling, the 5th Circuit remanded the case back to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas. Judge Ramos, who originally found in 2014 that the law was unconstitutional and was passed by Texas lawmakers with the intent to discriminate, was asked to re-evaluate whether the Texas Legislature acted with a discriminatory intent. She is also tasked with overseeing changes to the law that would allow the state to safeguard the integrity of its elections while not discriminating against minority voters.

the DOJ’s claim that the law had a discriminatory effect remains intact.

Need to get rid of that claim, too. "Discriminatory effect" is a BS objection.
