Supreme Court of the United States

North Carolina v. League of Women Voters of North Carolina

October 8, 2014

Summary

Justice Ginsburg, dissenting, argued that the Supreme Court should deny the application to stay the Fourth Circuit’s mandate and the district court’s preliminary injunction, because the appellate court’s finding that North Carolina’s voting changes likely violated §2 of the Voting Rights Act was well‑reasoned and the state’s reliance on 2014 primary turnout data is unpersuasive.
