WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A legal challenge to the Voting Rights Act, a landmark law adopted in 1965 that barred racial discrimination in voting practices, reached the Supreme Court on Friday. The appeal targets only Section 5 of the law, which says states with a history of discrimination must get permission from the federal government before changing election procedures. The challenge was filed by supporters of a 2008 Kinston, North Carolina, measure that would omit candidates' party affiliations from ballots.
