Answer
In 2017, Kagan wrote the majority opinion in Cooper v. Harris, which ruled that North Carolina's voter ID law was unconstitutional. The law had been challenged by a group of voters who argued that it was designed to suppress minority turnout. The Supreme Court agreed, finding that the law was not narrowly tailored to serve a legitimate government interest and that it had a discriminatory effect on minority voters.
