We read, and there's nary a protest of "unfairness" or "disenfranchisement":

Since 1965, the Voting Rights Act has required states and municipalities in the South to "pre-clear" any changes in their voting or election standards with the Justice Department in Washington.

I guess, if it's the South, who's gonna care in NYC or LA or Chicago?

Three years ago, Congress extended this provision for another 25 years, but it was challenged by a small Texas water district as unfair and outdated.

... a Texan water district! I'll have to remember the power of the little guys sill exists, if I get back into small politics.

States across the South from the Carolinas to Texas will remain subject to the law and its Section 5, the provision that requires voting changes to be cleared in advance.

But counties, cities and school districts can now go to court and ask to "bail out" of the law. To win an exemption, the municipality must have had a clean record for the last decade, with no finding that they had restricted voting rights during that time.

...

"Things have changed in the South," said Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. in announcing the decision.

What; like the Democratic Party isn't actively fighting for segregation? (If you think that's a low blow, I think you'll find any current application of the Voting Rights Act, specifically to certain Southern states to the exclusion of all other states, equally unjust)
