[EL] The New Vote Denial - update?

[Justin Levitt]

I can't call it an update to Dan's magnificent piece, but after the 
Congressional VRA hearings this summer, Sen. Grassley asked me for 
incidents since 2006.  I compiled nine categories of incidents, 
including successful section 2 litigation -- and though I don't pretend 
that my list was comprehensive (not all section 2 cases result in 
reported decisions, for example -- and though I tried to look beyond 
reported decisions, I don't know whether I got them all), it may 
nevertheless be useful.  My starting point was anything more recent than 
the VRARA's signing date (July 27, 2006).

My responses to Senator Grassley's questions are here 
<http://redistricting.lls.edu/files/_%20Levitt%20responses%20to%20Grassley%20QFRs.pdf>; 
the particular response to the question about incidents starts on p. 6, 
and the section 2 cases start on p. 19.
