Deep dives
Busy Travel Days Expected for Thanksgiving
AAA predicts that the next two days will be the busiest travel days of the year in the U.S. with more than 49 million people driving over 50 miles from home and 4.7 million people flying. Despite some winter weather and high winds affecting parts of the southeast, travelers are undeterred by Thanksgiving or Christmas travel, especially since airline costs have decreased. The most popular destinations are New York, Orlando, and Los Angeles.
Federal Appeals Court Limits Voting Rights Act Challenges
A federal appeals court ruled that Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act can only be used by the U.S. Attorney General to bring cases. Private citizens and civil rights groups like the ACLU or the NAACP are no longer able to sue based on race to challenge voting rules and redistricting. The court's decision, which affects Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota, has raised concerns about weakening the Voting Rights Act and the possibility of the case being appealed to the Supreme Court.
