It means that the person offering that assistance cannot sue the state if the state limits the number of people that they can so assist.

In Arkansas, the law requires poll workers to keep track of everyone assisting voters and limits the number of people that each one can help to six. I think that's limited to actually helping cast a ballot - not transportation. A group representing such people tried to sue and was told that the VRA provides them no basis for such a claim.

The appeal was denied cert without any justice indicating that they would grant it
