I am not very well informed about the voting rights
act.  Can anyone who is, help me with this question?

Is there any precedent that suggests that if a state
which does not now have a run-off primary were to
institute one, and this state is a covered
jurisdiction, would this state have a problem with the
Voting Rights Act if it tried to implement a run-off
partisan primary?
