[EL] question about VRAA as currently drafted

[Rick Hasen]

Suppose Congress passes the VRAA as currently drafted. (Big supposition, 
I know.)  Four states, including Texas, would be subject to preclearance.

Would laws such as Texas's voter id law (passed before Shelby County and 
then blocked by DOJ and a court until Shelby County) again be subject to 
preclearance?  Or would it only be changes which take effect after the 
effective date of the VRAA?
