At a campaign stop in Tupelo, Rep. Mark Baker, who is running for Mississippi attorney general, said the preclearance provision of the Voting Rights Act violated southern states' "sovereignty." Current Attorney General Jim Hood, Baker said, should have joined other red states that successfully petitioned the Supreme Court to strike down the VRA's preclearance requirements in 2013.
