What do they expect to accomplish? Getting a free pass to violate Section 2?

"Blatantly discriminatory evasions of federal decrees are rare."

That doesn't mean anything, certainly doesn't mean anything if these jurisdictions suddenly decide to make these evasions less rare when they get their way...
