The Supreme Court appeared ready Tuesday to uphold voting restrictions in Arizona in a key case that could make it harder to challenge a raft of other voting measures Republicans have proposed following last year's elections. All six conservative justices, appointed by Republican presidents, suggested they would throw out an appellate ruling that struck down the restrictions as racially discriminatory under the landmark Voting Rights Act. The outcome could make it harder, if not impossible, to use the Voting Rights Act to sue over measures making their way through dozens of Republican-controlled state legislatures that would make it more difficult to vote.

Eight years after carving the heart out of a landmark voting rights law, the Supreme Court is looking at putting new limits on efforts to combat racial discrimination in voting. The justices are taking up a case about Arizona restrictions on ballot collection and another policy that penalizes voters who cast ballots in the wrong precinct.

Less clear is what standard the court might set for how to prove discrimination under the law, first enacted in 1965.

Voting and restrictions are two words that should never be used in the same sentence. If a person is a citizen, is of voting age , then they are entitled to vote according to the constitution. All of this other stuff is stupid and designed to marginalize certain groups.

Awful and wrong. Republicans so adore voter suppression.
