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.
