So what specifically in Section 4 is found to be unconstitutional? What’s in Section 4?

I’m going to wait half a day for people smarter than me to analyze all the meanings and outworkings of this decision. The case isn’t going anywhere.

Section 4 is the preclearence section. It says that certain southern states must get any voting changes at all pre-cleared by the Justice Dept before the changes can be enacted. These changes can be as small as changing the boundaries of a water district, or requiring ID to vote.

Texas currently has a voter ID law that is similar to others the Supreme Court has found okay that cannot be implemented because it's being held up by Justice in pre-clearence. This decision means Texas can go ahead and enact the law.
