 Private individuals and groups have brought the majority of lawsuits for enforcing protections against racial discrimination in elections under the Voting Rights Act, Section 2. Last year, a panel of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that private individuals and groups are not allowed to sue because they're not explicitly named in the words of Section 2. That ruling applies only to seven states in the Midwest and South. Sophia Lynn Lake of the American Civil Liberties Union says they're now considering bringing another lawsuit under a different law to challenge Arkansas' state legislative map.
