: SCOTUSBLOGVoting case on track for Court
By Akin Gump Supreme Court Practice Group
The constitutional challenge to the 25-year extension of a key provision of the Voting Rights Act, requiring some states and local governments to get pre-clearance for election law changes, will be filed in the Supreme Court by early September, lawyers involved said Friday.
On July 7, attorneys for a utility district in Austin, Texas, filed a formal notice of appeal of the May 30 ruling by a three-judge U.S. District Court upholding the extension. That filing started the running of a 60-day period to file the appeal in the Supreme Court. By the calendar, that means the appeal is due by Sept. 8, and lawyers said they expect to file close to that date.
(The blog’s previous reports on the District Court ruling and the planned appeal are here and here.)
