What Supreme Court's Ruling on Voting Rights Could Mean for Arkansas

US Supreme Court building.

This week, the U.S. Supreme Court threw out a core part of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. 

It struck down the law's formula for determining which states must get federal approval before changing election rules.

KUAR's Karen Tricot Steward spoke with John DiPippa of the law school at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock for some analysis on what this decision means for Arkansas.

Karen Tricot Steward was a News Anchor, Reporter and Content Development Director for UA Little Rock Public Radio.
