Laughlin McDonald has written this column for Findlaw, responding to my column on the same subject last week. Laughlin’s arguments are based on a reading of the facts and the law that I find hard to believe the current Supreme Court majority is going to accept (as much as I would want them to). If you want a detailed analysis of why I am concerned, and why I have suggested some steps to improve the VRA’s chances of survival, see my OSU Law Journal article on the topic.
