Shelby County will challenge federal law that requires some states, mostly in the South, to get approval from the U.S. Justice Department when governments make election-related changes, no matter how small, which is how the county sees the provision.
Backed by a Washington D.C.-based group called The Project on Fair Representation, on a pro-bono basis, the county will challenge Section 4(b) and Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
