 to note the way in which the court has placed the thumb on the scale of state legislatures at the expense of voters. Now, with respect to the Voting Rights Act itself, I do discuss two cases in the book, Shelby County, which a lot of people know about, which gutted the importance of Section 5 that required certain jurisdictions to seek preclearance or preapproval for their voting rules. That was the 2013 case.
