he Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that a pair of Republican-backed Arizona voting restrictions do not run afoul of federal law.
The high court rejected a challenge by Democrats on the measure, dealing a blow to voting rights advocates, according to The Hill.
The vote was 6-3, with Justice Samuel Alito writing for the Majority with the liberal members in dissent.
The nation's highest court ruled that Arizona’s voting policies were not enacted with a racially discriminatory purpose that would have gone against the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which prohibits racial discrimination in voting laws.
