So, yes, Section 5 is null and void until Congress passes a new coverage formula based on current data. From the opinion:

Because §5 applies only to those jurisdictions singled out by §4, the Court turns to consider that provision.

Sounds like good news, may have been helpful before redistricting.

Back when the rats had the Southern legislatures forcing them to draw Black districts helped us beat White rats in other seats, but now we have them and this law could be in our way.

Good to know Roberts hasn’t gone full tilt traitor ***hole.
