How Will Supreme Court Decision in Shelby County Reshape Voter Rights Law?

New Rochelle, NY, July 11, 2013—The U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision in the Shelby County v. Holder case effectively nullified a central provision of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. While everyone agrees that this iconic federal law was responsible for opening up the ballot box to African Americans and other racial minorities, there is great uncertainty—and sharp disagreement—on the consequences of the Court’s decision in Shelby County.

For those seeking to understand the implications of this decision and how it may affect voting rights in years to come, Election Law Journal, from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers<http://click.liebertpubmail.com/?qs=b7d491ad75a801faa74627b18f2e848a976b784ba8a153950d854760d5a4064e>, has a number of informative and thought-provoking articles and commentaries. The articles are available free on the Election Law Journal<http://click.liebertpubmail.com/?qs=b7d491ad75a801fa5aaf4953882b1e7cd16fad9d9f9462ce0434a39951f39820> website.

Published papers on the Voting Rights Act include: “On Overreaching, or Why Rick Perry May Save the Voting Rights Act but Destroy Affirmative Action<http://click.liebertpubmail.com/?qs=b7d491ad75a801fae146e305b67e1cea4f1ff3d6024c97ddf6ec695954a53c93>,” by Ellen Katz; “Court Deference to State Legislatures in Redistricting After Perry v. Perez<http://click.liebertpubmail.com/?qs=b7d491ad75a801fa3356371c79942c29008f8a1f65b0c60c8cfc39cf9a0543f2>,” by Jeffrey Wice and Leonard Kohen; “ Bilingual Voting Materials and the Expansion of the Voting Rights Act Beyond the African American Community<http://click.liebertpubmail.com/?qs=b7d491ad75a801fa49e575f5a5f35ed3a686003d0d5acc4de429035ea466f745>,” by Louis DeSipio; and “Race and Southern Politics<http://click.liebertpubmail.com/?qs=b7d491ad75a801fa2ecd329382157351a68a0568693f7a5c41d000be0c833e1d>,” by Richard Engstrom.

Election Law Journal has also published articles and commentaries on election practices likely to be affected by the Supreme Court's action. These include “Souls to the Polls: Early Voting in Florida in the Shadow of House Bill 1355<http://click.liebertpubmail.com/?qs=b7d491ad75a801fa5412ed5fdc2f2f58ff5bb883921fb3f6c687555f88a7a3d8>,” by Michael Herron and Daniel Smith; “Protecting the Integrity of the Election Process<http://click.liebertpubmail.com/?qs=b7d491ad75a801fadc5d80e6f2a2e89989334c51600de74729b78a8a6e611d63>” by Hans A. von Spakovsky; “Election Deform: The Pursuit of Unwarranted Electoral Regulation<http://click.liebertpubmail.com/?qs=b7d491ad75a801facc0be71b2df64f172541252198cf65ad61184b350265e3b8>,” by Justin Levitt; “Latino Voters 2012 and Beyond: Will the Fastest Growing and Evolving Electoral Group Shape U.S. Politics?<http://click.liebertpubmail.com/?qs=b7d491ad75a801fae52c0722bbbcc87c6acf79230009e2e03ba01f1c8870bea0>” by Sylvia Lazos; and “Redistricting Developments of the Last Decade—and What's on the Table in This One<http://click.liebertpubmail.com/?qs=b7d491ad75a801fa33ed7f9d9148119d79f63a8ae80e7937818168056c15cd10>,” by Michael McDonald.

Daniel Tokaji, Co-Editor of Election Law Journal and Robert M. Duncan/Jones Day Designated Professor of Law, The Ohio State University, Moritz College of Law, states: “While reactions to the Supreme Court’s decision in Shelby County vary widely, there can be no doubt that this decision will reshape voting rights law for many years to come. Election Law Journal has featured many articles in recent years that will help policymakers, advocates, and scholars consider what steps might be taken to protect the right to vote. These include papers on the Voting Rights Act, as well as practices—such as voter ID and early voting—that are affected by it. The Journal will also feature papers on the right to vote after Shelby County in forthcoming issues, including ones from the American Association of Law Schools annual meeting in 2014.”
