From @lessig and @matt_seligman: "In the year after President Biden took office in 2021, 18 states passed 34 voting restriction laws. Many of these new laws became possible because the [#SCOTUS] decision in 2013 in Shelby County v. Holder struck down key provisions of the #VotingRightsAct. Every one of the laws passed the state legislature on a party-line [#Republican] vote."https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2024/03/election-theft-101-foster-skepticism/

@petersuber that’s not how Shelby County worked, though.
It’s a misreading of the Court’s decision.
