Discussion on the Voting Rights Act and the Shelby County case,
Thursday, February 7 from 6-8 p.m.
Last week, I and several other election law professors filed an
amicus brief in the United States Supreme Court in Shelby
County, Alabama v. Holder, the current challenge to the Act’s
constitutionality, in which we argued that, in addition to the 14th
and 15th Amendments, the Elections Clause of the U.S. Constitution
grants congressional authority to regulate elections through
legislation such as the Voting Rights Act. I attach a press release
concerning all amicus briefs in support of the VRA for additional
information.
