- US Supreme Court further erodes Voting Rights Act by declining Arkansas case, advocates say
The U.S. Supreme Court declined to review Arkansas' limits on voter assistance, allowing a lower court ruling to stand that blocks private enforcement of Section 208 of the Voting Rights Act. Advocacy groups argue this decision weakens protections for voters with disabilities or limited English proficiency, while state officials defend the law as a common-sense measure to prevent undue influence.
