The U.S. Supreme Court has denied cert in the Section 2 Voting Rights Act case of Cottier v. City of Martin.  This was a case where the full Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals held that the City of Martin did not violate Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.  The District Court had found a violation of the Voting Rights Act in a case brought by the ACLU.  An en banc panel of the Eighth Circuit reversed the plaintiff’s victory and the Supreme Court today denied cert.  Game, set, match.  Many more details are included in the press release from Martin’s lawyer, Sara Frankenstein.
