(Lansing, MI) – Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is joining 22 other attorneys general in asking the U.S. Supreme Court to take up a case over an individual’s right to sue to enforce the federal Voting Rights Act. They ask the justices to look at a lower court’s decision in a case that they say would prevent people from suing to enforce the law. The attorneys general say they are supporting Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act that bans state and local governments from enacting racially discriminatory policies. T
he Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians, Spirit Lake Tribal and three Native American voters filed the lawsuit in 2022, challenging North Dakota’s redistricting plan, saying it diluted Native American votes.
