VRA and ADA interaction

Jeff Wice asks:

Has anybody ever come across a case where the Voting Rights Act was used (by a governmental body) as a defense against an Americans with Disabilities Act lawsuit? Specifically, has the relocation of non-ADA accessible voting places in minority communties to ADA accessible polling places (in adjacent but non-minority) neighborhoods violated the Voting Rights Act? Or has the Voting Rights Act not served as a valid defense? This would not be in a Section 5 jurisdiction.

If you have ever heard of such a situation or case, please let me know directly at JMWice@aol.com
