WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld two election laws in the 2020 battleground state of Arizona that challengers said make it harder for minorities to vote.
The case was an important test for what's left of one of the nation's most important civil rights laws, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which the Supreme Court scaled back in 2013. A remaining provision allows lawsuits claiming that voting changes would put minority voters at a disadvantage in electing candidates of their choice.
Civil rights groups were hoping the Supreme Court would use the Arizona case to strengthen their ability to challenge the dozens of post-2020 voting restrictions imposed by Republican legislatures in the wake of Donald Trump's defeat.

Tell Pete Williams it is settled law and to go away.
What’s the catch? With these traitorous judges even on the SC one wonders what the real verdict will be.
6-3 ruling. Roberts is dragged along kicking and screaming to make the right decision.
What a totally biased and anti-Constitutional article by the same old suspects. They don’t even try to hid it anymore.
6-3 is pretty good, and a little surprising.

Ballot stuffers were hoping the Supreme Court gods in black dresses would codify their illegal changes to election law that were made in mnay states by judicial decree and precinct bosses and not the legislators.

Oh, please.
Have you even read the opinion?
No, I didn’t think so.
Good grief.
Without Trump fighting the election this doesn’t happen. If nothing else, if we get election reform out of this, the fight is all worth it.
“restrictive”? “Restricted” to voters actually voting for themselves.
...challengers said make it harder for minorities to vote.
So Pete, don’t you think the opinion that the law will “make it harder for minorities to vote” is just a little bit racist? ? ?
Of course...the law pertains to all...not just blacks.
It’s Deep State throwing us a bone.
Deep State is happy to keep the conversation focused on anything other than RCV and crooked voting machines.
Rare common sense from the government. You actually have to be who you claim to be in order to vote!
Hallelujah!
Even if every voter is a legal voter, with RCV and crooked voting machines, elections can still be stolen.
Voter ID is important, but it’s not the only issue.
“Writing in dissent for herself and Justices Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor, Justice Elena Kagan said...”
Never any doubt.
MSM outlets screaming bloody murder on this ruling, basically “SCOTUS upholds disenfranchising people of color” etc.
Expect a flurry of new demands for Dementia Joe to pack the court.
