Welcome
to
our
daily
feature, Quote
of
the
Day.
The
metaphor
is
a
wrecking
ball.
There
are
still
parts
of
the
VRA
that
are
operative,
but
the
two
main
pillars
are
now
virtually
dead
letters.
—
Professor
Rick
Hasen,
an
election
law
expert
at
UCLA
Law,
in
comments
given
to
Reuters,
concerning
the
Supreme
Court’s
handling
of
the
Voting
Rights
Act.
Over
the
course
of
the
last
decade,
the
Roberts
Court
has
slowly
but
surely
chipped
away
at
the
landmark
law,
leaving
it
on
its
last
legs.
