2/ Murray, cont'd:
In 2013's Shelby County v. Holder, it eviscerated the preclearance formula. The preclearance regime required states with a history of voting discrimination to first "preclear" any changes to their voting rules and regs with the DOJ or a three-judge federal court panel
The Court invalidated the preclearance formula on the ground that progress had been made and minorities were voting and blah blah blah.
