联邦法院在七个中西部州限制使用《投票权法》,影响了部落国家的法律途径。 Federal court restricts use of Voting Rights Act in seven Midwest states, impacting tribal nations' legal path.

联邦上诉法院裁定,在包括北达科他州在内的七个中西部州,私人个人和团体不能根据《投票权法》的关键部分提起诉讼。 A federal appeals court has ruled that private individuals and groups cannot sue under a key part of the Voting Rights Act in seven Midwest states, including North Dakota. 这一决定推翻了两个部落民族的法律胜利,这两个部落民族对重新划分选区的立法计划提出质疑,通过联邦民权法阻止通往《投票权法》第2节的道路。 This decision reverses a legal victory for two tribal nations that challenged a legislative redistricting plan, blocking a route to Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act through a federal civil rights law. 裁决可能不是最后的词,因为另一个上诉法院作出了不同的裁决,可能导致美国最高法院解决冲突。 The ruling may not be the final word, as another appeals court has ruled differently, potentially leading the U.S. Supreme Court to resolve the conflict.
