Will a pending Supreme Court case doom DOJ's voting rights lawsuit before it begins?

But even if Carvin wins and the Supreme Court pares down the kinds of cases that can be brought under the "results test," that may not impact Garland's suit, and that's why it was carefully crafted. Because instead of relying on the "results test," the Justice Department made a different argument: It said Georgia legislators passed the law with the "intent" to discriminate.

That's a different test under the law.
