“The Supreme Court just narrowed a landmark voting law for a nation that has never been more diverse — or more divided over who gets political …”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim that the Supreme Court narrowed a landmark voting law is supported by two cross-reference articles (Flipboard, SCMP). However, the Wikipedia results provided are for the Supreme Court of Virginia and the general definition of SCOTUS, and do not confirm the specific narrowing of a 'landmark voting law' (like the VRA) in the context of the claim. Since the cross-references are from news aggregators and not multiple independent news organizations, and the Wikipedia evidence is non-specific, the verdict is limited.
