The United States Supreme Court ruled, Thursday, that two “Republican-backed ballot restrictions” in the state of Arizona do not violate the Voter Rights Act of 1965, opening the door for voter restriction measures nationwide, and spelling trouble for the Department of Justice’s lawsuit, announced earlier this week, challenging new measures just passed in Georgia.
“The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday endorsed two Republican-backed ballot restrictions in Arizona that a lower court found had disproportionately burdened Black, Latino, and Native American voters, handing a defeat to voting rights advocates and Democrats who had challenged the measures,” Reuters reported. “The 6-3 ruling, with the court’s conservative justices in the majority, held that the restrictions on early ballot collection by third parties and where absentee ballots may be cast did not violate the Voting Rights Act, a landmark 1965 federal law that prohibits racial discrimination in voting.”

Fine and dandy but we still have to get rid if the crooked voting machines.
Biden, citing the SCOTUS ruling said it’s an attack on democracy, (para-phrased), when in fact it’s a ruling to keep democrats from their shameful cheating.
Preventing fraud is not “voter restrictions.”
Curiously uncommon these days.
The VRA of ‘65 is antiquated, unnecessary and should be abolished
It’s been turned into a racist cudgel to assist further election fraud
Also I will point out that all of the 1960’s BS laws did not come from Boomer’s.
Nobody can name ONE boomer in office in 1965.
“we still have to get rid if the crooked voting machines”
And the crooks who implemented them.

True. JFK was considered quite young compared to other politicians of that era, but even he was old enough to have served in WWII.
Well that’s just fine and dandy. When the corrupt Uniparty machines violate these new restrictions as they did in ‘20, the hacks on the Supreme Court will once again sit on their asses and do nothing again.
He just misspelled "Democrats". Give the guy a break, he can barely remember if he likes vanilla or banana pudding better! XD
Maybe Garland should sue SCOTUS.
“Also I will point out that all of the 1960’s BS laws did not come from Boomer’s...Nobody can name ONE boomer in office in 1965.”
Don’t worry, Boomers have done more than their share to also destroy the country - starting with Global Warming. Not all Boomers, but PLENTY of them.
the Supreme Court will once again sit on their asses and do nothing again.Do you call free speech for cheer leaders, bathrooms for trannies and upholding the CDC mandate for free rent (both the mandate and free rent are unconstitutional) "sitting on their asses doing nothing"?
Excellent!
SCOTUS roulette..... the game where the blind, infirm, rascals, cheats, and semi-honest folks get to live with the results of nine black robes rolling the dice.

They made up for it with the BS laws of the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s....
“”””The Court of Appeals thought that the State’s justifications for HB 2023 were tenuous in large part because there was no evidence that fraud in connection with early ballots had occurred in Arizona. See id., at 1045–1046.
But pre[1]vention of fraud is not the only legitimate interest served by restrictions on ballot collection. As the Carter-Baker Commission recognized, third-party ballot collection can lead to pressure and intimidation.
And it should go without saying that a State may take action to prevent election fraud without waiting for it to occur and be detected within its own borders.
Section 2’s command that the political pro[1]cesses remain equally open surely does not demand that “a State’s political system sustain some level of damage before the legislature [can] take corrective action.” Munro v. So[1]cialist Workers Party, 479 U. S. 189, 195 (1986).
Fraud is a real risk that accompanies mail-in voting even if Arizona had the good fortune to avoid it. Election fraud has had serious consequences in other States. For example, the North Carolina Board of Elections invalidated the results of a 2018 race for a seat in the House of Representatives””””
The above is my favorite paragraph in the 85 page opinion and dissent.
And yes, I read all 85 pages.
Maricopa County is going to get rid of the voting machines used in the 2020 election.
