Florida Fails to Persuade 3-Judge Court in Washington, D.C., to Expedite Case over 2011 Election Law Changes

On October 28, a 3-judge U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., denied Florida’s request to expedite the lawsuit over whether Florida’s 2011 election law changes violate the federal Voting Rights Act. See this story. Five counties in Florida are under section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. The Florida legislature earlier this year passed an omnibus election law bill which, arguably, violates the Voting Rights Act. Florida could have asked the U.S. Justice Department to pre-clear the changes, but instead Florida opted to ask a court to do that instead.

  1. What century before SCOTUS can detect the connection between 14th Amdt, Sec. 2 and 15th Amdt, Sec. 1 ???

    Is the negative stuff in each section any different than the NO type stuff in Art. I, Sec. 10 regarding the States ???

    i.e. how STUPID EVIL were the SCOTUS in the VRA cases in the 1960s ??? — to be politically correct, of course.
