Final arguments begin in voter lawsuit
... During the final arguments, Schroeder asked John Russ, one of the attorneys for the Department of Justice, why taking away early voting is a violation of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. He also asked Russ whether the Department of Justice had made this claim in any other case. Russ said many of the provisions reduced or eliminated were passed to make up for the past voting discrimination against blacks. Blacks use those provisions, like early voting, at higher rates than whites, Russ said.
