Kate Shaw, Leah Littman和Melissa Murray讨论了第八巡回法院对《投票权法案》第二条的裁决,该裁决对该法案的私权诉讼可能性提出了质疑。她们认为,这一裁决是基于对该法案的极端文本主义解读,忽视了立法史和先例。她们还指出,这一裁决与第五巡回法院的裁决相冲突,可能导致最高法院对该问题进行审查。她们认为,这一裁决可能对投票权产生重大影响,因为如果该法案不允许私权诉讼,那么维护投票权将变得更加困难。她们还讨论了最高法院在谢尔比县诉霍尔德案和布尔诺维奇诉民主党全国委员会案中的相关裁决,以及这些裁决对《投票权法案》第二条的影响。她们认为,这些裁决使得对《投票权法案》第二条的挑战变得更加容易,并对该法案的私权诉讼可能性提出了质疑。她们还讨论了该裁决的实际影响,以及如何利用《1983年一般民权法》来弥补这一裁决的影响。
