An order denying plaintiffs' motion for expert witness fees under section 6 of the "Fannie Lou Hamer, Rosa Parks, and Coretta Scott King Voting Rights Act Reauthorization and Amendments Act of 2006" ("VRARA") is affirmed where applying section 6 of VRARA would have retroactive effect, and thus in accordance with Supreme Court precedent, is presumed to not govern.
