Justice Alito for the court, "[W]e think it prudent to make clear at the beginning that we decline in these cases to announce a test to govern all VRA §2 claims involving rules, like those at issue here, that specify the time, place, or manner for casting ballots."

This is disgraceful and justifies the need for judicial reform. We need to take the dark money out of judiciary appointments.
