It is false that when the supreme court struck down section of the voting rights act, Texas no longer had to receive federal approval before changing any in-state voting procedure.
In Shelby County v. Holder, 570 U.S. 529 (2013), the Supreme Court ruled that Section 4(b) of the Act's coverage formula was unconstitutional. As a result, no jurisdictions are any longer subject to Section 4 (bcoverage )'s formula or to Sections 4(f)(4) and 5 of the Act.
Only those areas—mostly states, but also some counties—where there has a history of discrimination in the application of election laws are covered by Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act.
Before local rules that impact voting can be modified, those jurisdictions must obtain approval from a three-judge panel in Washington, D.C., or the U.S. Department of Justice.
