2015 marks the 50th anniversary of the passage of the Voting Rights Act, providing an opportunity for reflection on the past and thoughts about the Act’s future. Among the questions to be considered: What has been the effect of the Supreme Court’s decision in Shelby County to render the preclearance provisions of the Act ineffective? What is the likelihood of congressional reinstitution of the preclearance provision? Does Section 2 of the Act continue to function as intended? What is the future for Section 2 and Section 203 language claims in the courts?
