Two Stories on the DOJ and Voting Rights

NPR offers Ohio City Investigated for Voting Discrimination. The web description of the audio report: "The Justice Department is planning to file a voting rights suit against a city in Ohio. The last time the department brought a lawsuit alleging a pattern of discrimination against black voters was in 2001." USA Today offers Voting Rights Act pointed in a new direction. A snippet: "The Justice Department has launched a landmark lawsuit against Brown --the first time the federal government has used the 1965 Voting Rights Act to allege racial discrimination against whites."
