Supreme Court leaves ruling that ends private VRA suits in seven states
SCOTUS just found a way to strike yet another blow to the VRA. In brief, their move means that, within the 8th circuit, there is no more right for individuals or organizations to sue over violations of Section 208, which among other things protects people with disability.
Taniel216One important note: One of the states within the 8th circuit, Minnesota, passed its own voting rights act in 2024, specifically with an eye to countering this coming threat and allowing individuals and third-party groups to sue over voting rights violations. boltsmag.org/minnesota-vo...
Deb☮️💟💙15Ten states that have passed VRAs..
M. Kelly10Really hope I live to see this Court reformed.
fraziberry.bsky.social6The incoming President, and it won’t be Trump, must expand the court. #SCOTUSISILLEGITIMATE #SCOTUSisCorrupt
John 💙🇺🇸🇫🇮🇨🇦5We have to expand the court day 1 after and during ending citizens united
Paul3Impeach these traitor scotus picks.
Ghost_of_Gandalf 🇺🇸38th circuit trying hard to compete with the 5th for most corrupt. We don’t just need impeachments, we need prosecution.
noahs-arc0602.bsky.social3I have a disabled sister that lives with me 20 years , because she understands none of it I don’t vote for her but that is her individual case. Denying disabled folks that DO UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHATS GOING ON IS DISGUSTING . But trump wants disabled folks to be institutionalized , no doubt for $$

BREAKING: The Supreme Court leaves in place a ruling that severely limits enforcement of Voting Rights Act protections for voters with a disability or an inability to read or write in Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

Joe Bacon5The Sleazy Six continue to stack the deck for the GOP.
Michael3If voters with an inability to read or write were barred in all fifty states, that would be at least half of Republican votes. They love the poorly educated.

NEW: A judge blocked DHS and Social Security officials from implementing a new database she said was being used by states to inaccurately purge eligible voters from the rolls. www.politico.com/news/2026/06...
RonVara15Trump is a criminal and could care less what the court says. He knows if he loses Congress, he will be impeached and convicted, and the Epstein files will be released resulting in imprisonment. He will do ANYTHING to prevent that including ignoring court orders.
Florida Man2Why does it seem you are dancing around using the word “citizens”? You’ve now twice danced around the actual verbiage by saying “non-citizens” and “eligible voters”. The highlighted passage from the judge says “citizens” are purged.
🧵1/3 Forty million Americans with disabilities are eligible to vote in this country. On Monday, the Supreme Court looked at a ruling that strips away their right to bring a trusted helper into the voting booth and decided it wasn't even worth a hearing. No debate www.npr.org/2026/06/22/n...
Jennifer C442/3 Just silence, while a lower court's gutting of the Voting Rights Act stands in seven states. Section 208 has protected this right for decades: if you can't see the ballot, can't hold the pen, can't read the language it's printed in, you get to choose who helps you vote.
sassymaster.bsky.social3This is so fucked up.
David S. Moore3It's almost as if they just don't want people to vote... 🤔
larryo99.bsky.social2should be unconstitutional on appeal but how does one appeal this Robert’s anti constitutional anti democracy anti equality court.
