Jesus Christ. This is THE WAY the Voting Rights Act works. It’s THE WAY we enforce the 15th freaking amendment.

Reporters: If you are covering the 8th Circuit VRA decision, you need to explain that:
-This only affects AR, IA, MN, MO, NE, ND, SD.
-The 5th Circuit (MS, LA, TX) decided the opposite last week. https://democracydocket.com/cases/louis ... -robinson/

This a very important case and precision matters.
