Supreme Court sends Native American voting rights case back to lower court
Justices told lower courts to reexamine a ruling in a Voting Rights Act dispute brought by Native American tribes after the high court narrowed enforcement of the law.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court acted in a Voting Rights Act case brought by Native American tribes on Monday, saying a closely watched ruling needs to be reconsidered after the high court weakened the Civil Rights-era law.
The justices ordered lower courts to take another look at the decision that went against the tribes and undercut a key enforcement mechanism: lawsuits from voters and advocacy groups.
