Federal Court Delivers Blow to Voting Rights Lawsuits
Story by Jennifer White•
 
A federal appeals court ruling has restricted private individuals’ ability to file lawsuits under the Voting Rights Act (VRA), limiting enforcement to the U.S. Attorney General. The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has determined that private individuals do not have the right to bring VRA cases, undermining decades of legal precedent that empowered individuals to challenge discriminatory election policies. The ruling comes as the Trump Administration has reduced resources in the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
