Supreme Court leaves ruling that ends private VRA suits in seven states

SCOTUS just found a way to strike yet another blow to the VRA. In brief, their move means that, within the 8th circuit, there is no more right for individuals or organizations to sue over violations of Section 208, which among other things protects people with disability.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court leaves in place a ruling that severely limits enforcement of Voting Rights Act protections for voters with a disability or an inability to read or write in Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

Last week the Trump admin said disabled people don't have the right to live in our communities. Now the Supreme Court says we don't have the right to voter protections. They want to squeeze us out of public life and lock us away in silence.

Yet another attack on the Voting Rights Act: By declining to take up a lower court ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court has dealt another blow to the Voting Rights Act. www.npr.org/2026/06/22/n...

The Department of Justice had much stronger grounds to intervene in a federal election than a state or local race. Denying a citizen the right to vote for Congress was a direct violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1870, providing the U.S. Attorney with clear jurisdiction to impanel a grand jury. /5

The same Supreme Court that gutted the Voting Rights Act in Callais also just cleared the way for Alabama to use a map found to be intentionally discriminatory. Different ruling. Same playbook. Concentrate power. Silence Black voters. Protect the interests that built this Court.

The Supreme Court gutted Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act in a 6-3 ruling, and southern states are already redrawing maps to dismantle majority-minority districts. Sign on to push Congress to pass the John Lewis Act and restore the protections the Court just stripped away.

In 1871, the same Congress that passed the Ku Klux Klan Act (the first voting-rights enforcement act), also revoked federal recognition of Native sovereignty. The new Constitution of universal individual rights, that great achievement of a war for national unity, was seen to leave no room apart. 11/

Sixty-one years old. But who's counting? The USA became a democracy in 1965 with the Voting Rights Act. SCOTUS is not trying to kill the 1776 version of democracy. They are attacking the 1965 version.

Brian Lyman: "[SCOTUS] allowed massive state interference with abortion rights when those were constitutional and has reduced the Voting Rights Act to a souvenir of the 1960s. But in their eyes, capital punishment is a sacred, even infallible process." www.newsfromthestates.com/article/how-...

Republicans in and out of SCOTUS really want to make it as difficult as possible to vote in the USA. Only the corrupt DOJ is allowed to bring suit when voters are discriminated against, and unless they are straight white Christian nationalists, there is no way in hell this DOJ will lift a finger.
