The analysis I've seen today says that this is exactly what today's decision does. It requires that any need be justified by current facts, not 40 year old facts, because by any measure, the VRA was so successful that those 40 year old facts no longer apply. In fact, before the bill was passed, only a small percentage of black Alabamans were registered to vote. Today, 25% of Alabama registered voters are black, and blacks represent 26% of the state's population......so they vote in higher numbers than Alabaman whites do. There is no more need for the VRA in Alabama.
