U.S. Court of Appeals Expedites One of the Lawsuits that Attack the Federal Voting Rights Act

The U.S. Court of Appeals, D.C. circuit, will hear Shelby County, Alabama v Holder, on January 19, 2012. This is one of the three cases in which various governments or private citizens argue that the pre-clearance parts of the Voting Rights Act are unconstitutional. The other two cases were filed by the state of Arizona, and private individuals in North Carolina. Thanks to Rick Hasen for this news.
