On Aug. 2, 2022, special counsel for the New York Legislature, Jeffery Wice, briefed National Council of State Legislators (NCSL) attendees on Merrill v. Milligan, a case before the Supreme Court that could upend state redistricting as soon as Oct. 2. 
Wice said that in 2013, the Supreme Court struck down Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA), but left Section 2 in place.
