Bad memory, but I think around 2006-2008 John Roberts ruled; (in so many words) Since racism in the USA is a thing of the pasts, there's many parts off the Voting Rights Act (1965?) that are no longer needed. Shortly, or immediately, Republican racists changed the laws/rules in their states to immediately suppress the votes of minorities and college students and any demographic that may lean Democratic.

SC has been moving the goal line since the ludicrous Bush v. Gore ruling of around 2000. Stunk so bad they put into it that it should never be used as a legal precedent. The SC is not on the side of the people or Democracy itself. But, to be fair, they are totally ga-ga over 26th Century Catholic religious doctrine and totalitarian fascism.
