Högsta domstolen skickar tillbaka rösträttsfall från Mississippi och North Dakota

Svenska

Högsta domstolen utfärdade på måndagen två oförklarade beslut om att återförvisa rösträttsfall från Mississippi och North Dakota till lägre instanser för omprövning. Åtgärderna följer domstolens nyliga avgörande i målet Louisiana mot Callais, som omformat paragraf 2 i Voting Rights Act. Domaren Ketanji Brown Jackson reserverade sig mot båda besluten.

Besluten skickade tillbaka fallen för granskning mot bakgrund av förra månadens dom i Callais-målet. I både Mississippi- och North Dakota-ärendena hade lägre domstolar behandlat påståenden om rasdiskriminering i valdistriktskartor som väckts av enskilda väljare och grupper såsom NAACP. Delstaterna hade hävdat att endast justitiedepartementet, och inte privata parter, får genomdriva centrala bestämmelser i Voting Rights Act.
