How does this effect friends. Please spell it out like a spelling bee.

Basically states that have a history of racial discrimination have to send there redistricting plans and changes to voting laws to the Justice Department for clearance before they can move ahead with it. They don't need that clearance anymore.

I think their argument is that cism still exists, but due to societal changes, you cant just have a blanket generic 'all southern states must submit', ergo, congress needs to come up with a new formula determining which states are racist, the catch being, congress is not about to come up with that formula any time soon...but Obama is a meanie so theres that huh?

How can this be used to effect voting in southern states?

because right now the south has to check with Washington to change any voting procedure. The south used to have poll taxes etc to stop blacks from voting. this law was to prevent that and ensure everyone could vote
