Yes. The amendment was withdrawn.

I agree. it is time to start getting the fed gov't out of state issues.

Voting is a state issue.
I know what the article says and I agree with it 100%. Once the states get into the business of acting right the feds will get out of their business. But not a second sooner…

By nature, progressives are racists. See: Woodrow Wilson and Margaret Sanger.

IMO, the fed has NO RIGHT to interfere in elections. It is a state run and controlled action.

That is why there is NO fed run election.

Nefarious, indeed.
Why would you think that the party that was founded on freeing black people from slavery would want to restart that institution?

More proof that liberals don't do much thinking before shooting off their mouth.

Republicans might be trying to indirectly kill African Americans, but Democrats are trying to maintain African Americans' dependence on them.
Back that last statement up. Tell me what benefits are only for blacks under dems that aren't there under conservatives?

The fed has no right as long as they aren’t one of the states or counties with a history of discrimination in voting. That sounds a little better…
