Supreme Court of the United States

Greg Abbott v. Marc Veasey

January 23, 2017137 S. Ct. 612

Summary

The Supreme Court denied the petition for certiorari, concluding that the issues presented—whether Texas enacted SB14 with discriminatory purpose and whether it violates § 2 of the Voting Rights Act—are not yet ripe for review because the lower courts have not entered a final remedial order. The Court noted that the matters are better suited for review after a final judgment is entered.
