In Georgia, election officials in a rural, predominantly black county are facing charges of voter suppression, after they announced plans to close seven of their county’s nine polling places ahead of November’s midterm elections. Randolph County officials say they’re closing the polling sites because they don’t comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. But critics charge the move is aimed at suppressing the votes of African Americans. The county’s action would likely have triggered a Justice Department review under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, but in 2013 the Supreme Court effectively ended those protections.
