I am pleased to add two important voices to the law professor forum on VRA renewal.
Ellen Katz, a law professor at Michigan, was the primary researcher and writer of this important report on the history of section 2 violations since 1982.
Spencer Overton, a law professor at George Washington, is the author of the new book, Stealing Democracy: The New Politics of Voter Suppression (whose praises I have already sung).
I look forward to reading their interesting contributions!
