GOLDWATER INSTITUTE TO FILE BRIEF TOMORROW IN THE US SUPREME COURT ON SECTION 5 OF THE VOTING ACTS RIGHT

Here are the proofs of an amicus brief we will file tomorrow in the USSC arguing that the recent extension of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, which requires “pre-clearance” of voting changes (including annexations and other technical changes) by the US Justice Dep’t, and which applies only to a handful of mostly deep-South states but also AZ, is unconstitutional.
