Supreme Court upholds Arizona voting laws that lower court found were unfair to minorities

The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld two Arizona voting restrictions that a lower court had said discriminated against minority voters, a ruling that suggests that it will be harder to successfully challenge a spate of new laws passed by state legislatures in the aftermath of the 2020 election.
Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. wrote the opinion in the 6-to-3 ruling, with the court’s conservative majority in charge. The court’s liberals joined an opinion by Justice Elena Kagan protesting that the decision weakens the shield provided by the Voting Rights Act (VRA), first passed in 1965 to forbid laws that result in discrimination based on race.
The final day of the Supreme Court’s decision-making brought a second opinion, about the disclosure of donors, decided along the same conservative-liberal divide. It was a partisan close to a term in which the justices had successfully decided many controversial cases without rancor.
The presumption that voter ID laws in states that provide a valid ID free are racist is it's self a racist presumption. I hope the Justice Department gets the fuck out of Georgia because they have already lost their case against our Voter ID laws.
