Via Maggie Haberman comes news of a new case filed by Marc Elias (the latest in a series of cases).

The suit is Lee v. Virginia Board of Elections, and this time the Democratic Party is a party.  You can find the complaint at this link.

The suit raises both constitutional claims and claims under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act focused mostly on Virginia’s voter identification law (although there is mention of long lines at polling places, presumably to be exacerbated by the i.d. requirement).

The Virginia law was precleared by the Obama Justice Department, when Section 5 was still in effect, but it has since been made more stringent.

As with the claims brought by Elias in the WI and OH cases, I deem this a longshot case, which is probably as much about politics and highlighting attempts at voter suppression as it is about the legal claim.
