Arguments underway in #SCOTUS #VotingRightsAct case
#JohnRoberts first called on Janai Nelson of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund to present her argument. Nelson is representing Press Robinson & other #Black #Louisiana voters.
Nelson argues her opponents “seek stagging reversal of precedent that would throw maps across the country into chaos.”
