North Carolina v. League of Women Voters of North Carolina
Petition for certiorari denied on April 6, 2015
Issue: (1) Whether the court of appeals erred by effectively incorporating into Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act the retrogression standard applicable only to Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act; and (2) whether the preliminary injunction ordered by the Fourth Circuit subjected North Carolina to a de facto preclearance standard in derogation of North Carolina’s constitutional prerogative to enact laws governing the time, place and manner of holding elections.
