WASHINGTON, Aug. 26 (UPI) -- Arizona is suing the U.S. government, questioning the constitutionality of a portion of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne said the suit, filed Thursday, challenged a part of the law that requires Arizona and other jurisdictions -- mainly in the South -- to get permission, or "pre-clearance" from the Justice Department for changes to voting procedures, The Wall Street Journal reported.
