The case is about a law in Tennessee from 1901 that hasn't been updated since then. Some people are saying that the law isn't fair because it doesn't follow the Fourteenth Amendment, which says that everyone should be treated the same under the law. The Supreme Court said that the case can go to trial and that the people who filed the lawsuit have a good reason for doing so. They're worried that their votes aren't being counted fairly because the law is so old and doesn't make sense anymore. Tennessee has made some changes to the law recently, but there are still problems with it.
