[EL] My reaction to Brnovich

[Steven John Mulroy (smulroy)]

Only 0.03 % of Americans have sickle cell anemia. But Blacks are 10 X more likely to have it. If a voter "medical risk" law barred those w/ sickle cell anemia from voting in person, but still had slightly more generous mail balloting and early voting  rules than were common in 1982, would it be OK under Section 2 of the VRA  under Brnovich?

Assume there's no good evidence of racially discriminatory intent, but there is a clear intent to advantage Republicans at the expense of Democrats. 

Also: is it relevant that the law actually would be likely to be outcome determinative in close elections?
