Research from UC San Diego says a 2013 Supreme Court ruling striking down a key provision in the 1965 Voting Rights Act led to economic disenfranchisement for Black Americans.
The Rady School research"reveals the weakening of minority political power brought on by the 2013 Supreme Court decision made the government less responsive to minorities' policy demands," said Carlos Fernando Avenancio- Leon, assistant professor of finance at Rady.
Both papers by Avenancio-Leon and his co-author, Abhay Aneja of UC Berkeley, focus on Section 5 of the VRA, which applied to practices or procedures in counties with histories of racial discrimination, primarily in the South and Southwest.
