It is well documented how some of the States misused to develop & implement Jim Crow laws to counter the Civil Rights Act of 1866.
Dred Scott v. Sanford remains the worst Supreme Court decision ever.
None of that changes the US Constitution, which would have to be done in order for the Fed Gov to take authority over how states conduct their federal elections, which is what this bill is trying to do.
Just pass and ratify a new Constitutional Amendment giving the Fed Gov authority over how states conduct their federal elections and then Congress can legislate at will.

Just? I think I'll pass on responding any further. Have a nice day.
The officer’s text messages leaked said that he intentionally did it so the individual couldn’t have the right to vote.
I know I won’t change your mind but I’m posting this for lurkers that visit so they can be more aware.
“No one is taking any voting rights away”. I guess like no one is taking the right away for abortion too?
An individual, one twisted individual that is now a former Sheriff's Deputy and the Feds are on him.
What power beyond himself do you imagine he holds?
The reference you make in your last sentence holds no water in equivalency and the subject as a comparison also got a post of mine deleted for as "off topic".

Apparently you finally realized exactly how difficult it is supposed to be for the Federal Government to overrule the states on constitutional matters. InformedConsent is correct. Passing an amendment is the only way for it to happen within the parameters of the Constitution. If, as is claimed, the majority of people want the FedGov to have such power it should be a relatively easy process.
It is not in the GOPs interest to have free and fair elections. Having the masses participate means that they will lose.
It’s why they vote in laws against giving water to people standing in lines to vote to name just one thing. It’s why they gerrymander the states to such an extreme degree like Wisconsin.
They are cowards afraid of actually competing in the “marketplace of ideas” so they set arbitrary rules to benefit themselves and retain power.

There is no such law. That was a lie Stacey Abrams made up.
In light of the recent Voting Rights Act bill being restored it has been noted that all 212 members of the GOP opposed it but not sure of their reasons.
Out of 212 people not ONE believes in this? If you are a legal citizen, a taxpayer, and of age you should have the right. This is America after all.
For those who agree with their stance and don’t support the bill, what is your reason personally?

Indeed
If people do not believe it, just look at the Carter/Baker commission recommendations for running fair elections in foreign countries. They witnessed first hand how despots and banana republics cheated to keep those in power get "reelected".
Many of the things used to cheat are things modern day Democrats are already doing in some places and trying to accomplish nationwide. Such as unlimited number of ballots being produced and or sent out to every address, regardless of the voter rolls. Or just as bad, allowing people to produce/print their own ballots.
What could go wrong.
Ballot harvesting is another one that (D's) are promoting, not to mention same day registration to vote, no voter ID laws, illegal alien non citizens being able to vote, etc., etc., etc.
So OP, assuming you are as naive as you sound, don't get caught up with a title that sounds fair, but in reality is designed to help the party in power remain there with voter fraud.
Also, if you want a dose of reality, watch this video to see how black people react to liberal/leftist whites claims about blacks being disenfranchised;

What I recalled was that the Fifteenth Amendment was ratified in 1870, & after the American Civil War. Recall the Fifteenth Amendment guarantees that "the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude."
Some folks have resisted its guarantees for all Americans ever since.
