A great place to get an understanding of the case for renewing the VRA in its current form is from the Renew the VRA website, run by the LCCR. I can understand why they choose to link only to favorable news stories and editorials. But to me it is a bit misleading that their page gathering congressional testimony links only to testimony that they find favorable (without any notation that these are selective pieces of congressional testimony). For example, compare this and this (Profs. Gaddie and Pildes don’t appear on the RenewtheVRA version of the testimony).
