The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Shelby County in the 2013 case Shelby County v. Holder. The Court struck down key provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, specifically the formula used to determine which jurisdictions were subject to federal preclearance before changing voting laws. This decision significantly weakened federal oversight of state voting laws, leading to concerns about potential voter discrimination.
