Supreme Court Upholds Arizona Vote Casting Restrictions

Angel
Image
 The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld balloting restrictions in Arizona in a decision that could make it more difficult to challenge other voting limits put in place by Republican lawmakers following last year's elections. The court, by a conservative-majority 6-3 vote, reversed a lower court ruling in determining that Arizona's rules on who can return early ballots for another individual and for the state's refusal to count ballots cast in the wrong precinct are not racially discriminatory. The federal appeals court in San Francisco had held that the measures disproportionately affected Black, Hispanic and Native American voters in violation of a part of the landmark Voting Rights Act regarded as Section 2. Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the conservative majority that the state's interest in the integrity of elections justified the measures. The court rejected the concept that displaying that a state regulation disproportionately affects minority voters is sufficient t...

Atiku Abubakar, former Vice President of Nigeria, has disclosed the lessons he has learnt from the new movie ‘Black Panther’. Atiku Abubakar writes: Over the weekend, I joined my children to watch the much talked about ‘Black Panther’. It was a good film, and I was happy they took me to see it. However, I came out of the movie theater a little upset. When the first scenes came up, and I saw “Sambisa Forest” I was unhappy that the only reference the filmmakers could have for Nigeria was a negative one, but I was later encouraged by the thought of Africans solving African problems. That is a good thing, the kinds of things we used to do. For young people who may not remember, Nigerian civil servants and indeed most able citizens used to contribute money every month to support the struggle against Apartheid in South Africa.
