Yes, now I’ve read it and I realize that I should have specified “section 4” as the part that needed expansion as it was the only part that is regionally applied. Also, I guess, the part that was impacted by Shelby v. Holder. I think and thought in 2013 that there was the danger of voter suppression popping up anywhere, not just in districts with prior history. So… I thought that section 4 needed expansion then, and even more now. Though the effects of it’s elimination were completely predictable at the time.
