2. According to the Senate Report, a court's "focus" must remain broad and varying enough to encompass the totality of the circumstances with which a voting practice invariably interacts to influence the nature of political processes.In concluding its opinion, the majority appears to abandon its causation argument. at 1253, 1256. Thus, for Latinos and blacks, having their registration nullified only confirms what they are more likely to already believe: that given the higher costs and lower benefits of participating in the political process, there is simply no point in making the effort.Even if we could not achieve our own understanding of this reality, its truth is plain enough that Congress and the Supreme Court have told us to take it on faith. The district court included in its opinion the following germane statistics with respect to minority representation in the Pennsylvania legislature: Thus, the dissent's reliance on Mississippi State Chapter, Operation Push v. Allain, Footnote 119 provides in relevant part as follows: "purging of voters could produce a discriminatory result if fair procedures were not followed. In introducing the National Voter Registration Act, Congress stated its finding that "discriminatory and unfair registration laws and procedures can have a direct and damaging effect on voter participation ... and disproportionately harm voter participation by various groups, including racial minorities." Maybe voters were just like, “Oh, taxes? That is undeniable.

In that context, a court could readily conclude that a statute disenfranchising felons was necessary to serve the state's compelling penalogical interests. at 315. Toney v. White, 488 F.2d 310 (5th Cir. A. at 93. Id. It provides that a state or subdivision, in order to reinstate a suspended voting practice, must show that the practice has not been used "for the purpose or with the effect of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race or color." If we deny the continued existence of this problem, we not only lose our ability to recognize and remedy present instances of unlawful inequality; we also guarantee that discrimination and the damage it does to the integrity and effectiveness of democratic government will be a more prevalent and intractable feature of our country's future.The majority and I share these broader concerns, but I have a different understanding of the way in which they are implicated in this case. 42 U.S.C.S. 2 would continue to prohibit "all voting rights discrimination," including "episodic" practices which did not involve the "permanent structural barriers" to political equality seen in the vote dilution context.

A. at 286 In his declaration, based on the statistics that appear in the district court and majority opinions, Dr. Lichtman explained: "To put this [disparate impact of the non-voting purge] into perspective, if the black [purge] rate in 1991 had been as low as the white rate, about 28,000 fewer black registrants would have been [slated for purging] in 1991.

While purging could be conducted "episodically"--that is, on discrete occasions or in a related series of events--I would not describe the annual operation of Pennsylvania's non-voting purge law as "episodic." In my view, however, as I have stated, those findings cannot be reconciled with its ultimate conclusion that no Sec. The Operation PUSH courts, however, clearly did not find, and did not require the plaintiffs to show, that Mississippi's registration procedures were "the causes" of the statistical disparity in registration rates. Former Philadelphia City Councilmember Angel Ortiz (AP Photo/Dan Loh) Many Philadelphians have unpaid parking tickets. Maj. op. That is, the Supreme Court recognized that there must be some causal connection between the challenged electoral practice and the alleged discrimination that results in a denial or abridgement of the right to vote.Three Courts of Appeal have required Section 2 plaintiffs to demonstrate a causal connection between asserted indicia of discrimination and the challenged electoral procedure at issue. 1991). 623-40, the non-voting purge act. 1973gg-6(b). 1973), or if the need for a purge were not shown or if opportunities for re-registration were unduly limited."
