The SCOTUS ruling goes through the history of the VRA debunking claims made in this article.
For example, it goes through revisions in the law that specifically precluded the inclusion of a results test. That was emphatically not part of the VRA.
Kagan's senationalism was not just wrong, but it was unhelpful, promoting narratives like this that just don't hold water when examined.
If the VRA needs reform, great! We have a legislative process to get there. But we won't reform the VRA by grousing about it not saying something it never said anyway.
