What landmark case involved voting districts and was Kagan in the majority opinion for?
Cooper v. Harris
Roe v. Wade
Obergefell v. Hodges
Shelby County v. Holder
Answer
In Cooper v. Harris, Kagan was in the majority opinion which held that North Carolina's voter ID law was unconstitutional because it targeted African Americans with "almost surgical precision." The law required voters to show a photo ID in order to vote, but the state did not provide free IDs to all eligible voters, and the IDs that were accepted were disproportionately difficult for African Americans to obtain.
