Roberts has had his eye on the VRA since his days as an assistant attorney general, the early 1980s, when colleagues in the Reagan administration agreed that the heart of the VRA, especially section 5 but also section 2, intruded on state regulations. In 2000, along with present-day Justices Kavanaugh and Barrett, he assisted George W. Bush in halting the vote recount in Florida in Election 2000. In 2013, Roberts wrote the majority opinion in the case that struck down Section 5 of the VRA. Now section 2 is on the chop block.
