The Supreme Court is gearing up next term to wade into two major battles over how Americans vote in elections, with cases over how much of a role race plays in drawing voting districts and who has the final say on election procedures.
Progressive lawyers are bracing for their worst fears to be realized, saying if the justices rule against them in both cases, it would “upend” the Democratic process.
“The two lawsuits could drastically limit the ability to attack suppressive voting laws and protect voters in court,” Marc Elias, who was Hillary Clinton’s campaign lawyer, warned on Twitter.
