WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Supreme Court justices on Tuesday appeared inclined to uphold two Republican-backed voting restrictions in Arizona in a case that could further hobble the Voting Rights Act, a landmark 1965 federal law that prohibits racial discrimination in voting.
During nearly two hours of oral arguments by teleconference the court’s conservative justices, who hold a 6-3 majority, asked questions indicating they could issue a ruling that would make it harder to prove violations of the Voting Right Act.

Republicans Are Pushing A Wave Of Voter Restrictions. Democratsâ Top Priority Would Stop Them.
Trumpâs election lies inspired new voter restrictions that could be nullified if Democrats pass the For The People Act.
Ex-President Donald Trumpâs lies about election fraud did not just lead to the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol meant to overturn a free and fair democratic election. His lies also led to a new wave of more than 250 voting restriction bills introduced by Republican governors and state legislators across the country that would make it harder to vote.
But almost all of these restrictive laws could be nullified if Congress passes Democratsâ top legislative priority: the For The People Act, a package of voting rights, campaign finance, election and ethics reforms.
