Arkansas NAACP Asks Eighth Circuit to Overturn U.S. District Court Legislative Redistricting Opinion

This is the case in which the U.S. District Court had said that only the federal government can bring lawsuits under the Voting Rights Act, section two. That decision violates U.S. Supreme Court precedent, and no other federal court had ever come to such a conclusion in the 56-year history of the Voting Rights Act.
