Voting Rights Act faces long-term statutory weakness after ruling
The Supreme Court's 5-4 vote casts the Voting Rights Act as a principled statement rather than an enforceable law. Chief Justice Roberts notes the 2006 extension used an outdated coverage formula, urging Congress to update preclearance rules. Without bipartisan action, the act remains a lofty goal rather than a practical safeguard.

PennDOT Decade of Investment site kept under seal until Friday
A PennDOT password protected Decade of Investment site drew scrutiny as AP questioned public access and the site’s district level details. The spokesman cited lawmakers’ review before public release, while the page listed highway and bridge projects with billions in planned funding by the governor and Senate. Gardner, Corman, Rafferty, Pileggi figures appear with district totals, and navigation glitches delayed locating representatives. The writer notes the seal was kept to fix bugs and avoid a too easy read of who benefits where.
