'This is not a great outcome': Supreme Court ruling brings fear of explosion in voting restrictions
Donald Trump's false claims about losing the 2020 presidential election may have failed to gain traction in the courts, but the former president's political base is racking up judicial wins in the country's voting rights war.
Conservative activists succeeded in getting 17 states to pass more than two dozen laws tightening election procedures since January. The GOP has also done well defensively, blocking congressional Democrats from enacting federal changes last month.
Heading into the final weeks of summer, liberals worry their opponents will be encouraged to pursue further restrictions after a U.S. Supreme Court decision this month upheld two Arizona election measures, which some legal scholars warned guts the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
"This is not a great outcome for those who believe that voting is truly important in a democracy and for those who generally are more marginalized from voting," said Melissa Murray, a New York University law professor and expert in constitutional law.
