This decision is a major blow to the democrats lawfare tactics to defeat new voting laws. Gorsuch raised the issue of standing and whether private activists such as the DNC, NAACP, ACLU or private citizens have the standing to challenge state's laws under Section 2 of the Voter's Rights Act. If they don't have standing then only the DOJ can bring such suits, instead of them joining a lawfare suit, and the DOJ moves very slowly. Gorsuch in his concurrence seemed to invite any state sued by lawfare groups to raise the issue of standing.
