Question

In which way did the 2013 Supreme Court ruling dilute the Voting Rights Act ?

Answer 1

On June 25 2013, the United States Supreme Court vote against the Section 4 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. The section 4 which requires a stringent means for nine states with racial discrimination histories to submit plans to the government for approval.
