"The Supreme Court's conservative majority ruled in Louisiana vs Callais, effectively requiring proof of intentional racial bias in voting discrimination claims. Critics argue this ignores the 1982 amendment to the Voting Rights Act which rejected the 'intent' test. The ruling is seen as a significant shift in judicial interpretation regarding Black enfranchisement."
Author: Ari Berman
Ari Berman provides a definitive history of the Voting Rights Act and the subsequent legal battles to dismantle it. This book is essential for understanding how the 'intent' test and the evolution of judicial interpretation have systematically eroded minority voting protections over the last several decades.
