The Case: Shelby County, Alabama, vs. Holder; Nix vs. Holder
This case centers on the constitutionality of Congress' 2006 decision to re-authorize a provision in the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which allows government oversight over states with a history of voter discrimination. Sixteen states are currently covered in the provision, meaning they must get approval from the U.S. Justice Department before making changes to any voting rules.
