BREAKING: The Supreme Court just allowed the most sweeping package of voter suppression laws since the passage of the Voting Rights Act to take effect his election in North Carolina. It’s the second time the Supreme Court has ruled against voting rights in the past ten days, after the court also overruled an appeals court decision reinstating a week of early voting and same-day registration in Ohio. The roots of the North Carolina case go back to June 25, 2013, when the Court struck down Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act in Shelby County v. Holder, which meant that states with the worst history of voting discrimination – like North Carolina – no longer had to approve their voting changes with the federal government.
