Court Level
District Court

Proposed Intervenors seek to participate in this action as parties to defend the constitutionality of Sections 4(b) and (5) of the Voting Rights Act against Plaintiff’s claim that they exceed Congressional authority. Plaintiff’s Complaint, Motion for Summary Judgment, and supporting documents fail to establish, either as a matter of law or fact, that Sections 4(b) and (5) of the Voting Rights Act are unconstitutional.
