The Supreme Court on Thursday halted an appeals ruling that prevents private groups from challenging election maps under the Voting Rights Act in seven states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neither the majority nor the three public dissenters \u2014 conservative Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch \u2014 explained their reasoning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The case arose from a lawsuit brought by two Native American tribes, who argue that North Dakota\u2019s state legislative map denied them an equal opportunity to elect their candidates of choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The case entered the national spotlight after an 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel ruled 2-1 that the tribes and other private parties have no legal right to enforce Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. It mimicked an earlier 8th Circuit ruling concerning a redistricting case in Arkansas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Supreme Court\u2019s emergency ruling lifts the 8th Circuit\u2019s ruling until any appeals are resolved. It does not reflect the court\u2019s final decision on the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It comes as the justices prepare to rehear a major redistricting case in Louisiana next term, which legal observers have closely watched as several conservative justices signal a desire to make it more difficult to bring Voting Rights Act lawsuits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The high court has not yet announced the legal question it will consider when it rehears the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tribes, backed by the NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Fund, argued the 8th Circuit\u2019s recent decision is at odds with decades of history and takes away a key pathway to challenge discrimination in the seven states the 8th Circuit covers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey likewise contradict every circuit court and three-judge district court\u2014all unanimous unlike the divided decision below\u2014ever to have considered the question of private enforcement of Section 2,\u201d the tribes wrote in court filings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

North Dakota urged the justices to turn away the appeal, stressing the tribes\u2019 \u201cassumptions are not holdings.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd the fact that Section 2\u2019s private enforceability was not previously challenged does not mean Congress spoke with the clarity needed to create a privately enforceable right, as members of the Court have recognized,\u201d the state wrote in court filings. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
