A report released by Syracuse University in recent weeks revealed that lawsuits related to voting rights had seen a decline across the country.
New voting rights lawsuits filed in June numbered just nine, a drop of 25 percent over those filed in May, according to an analysis of federal statistics by Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse University.
When compared to such cases filed a year ago, the drop was even larger – 37 percent. Over a five-year period, going back to 2008, voting rights lawsuits filed are down 22.5 percent.
