In it, Bankoff discusses his displeasure with rulings by the Supreme Court in previous years that have affected voting rights. He specifically names the Court’s decisions to strike down parts of the Voting Rights Act and to allow partisan redistricting by state legislatures. He argues that these decisions protect political parties over voters.
