Given the U.S. Constitution, There Is a Limit To Voter Suppression

Here’s some good news.

Many Americans are concerned about voter suppression in its various forms, but insofar as it’s so blatantly unconstitutional, I wonder if all this worry is unwarranted.

The 14th and 15th Amendments are crystal clear in their language; here’s section 1 from the latter: 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.

Georgia thinks it’s going to remove drop-off ballot boxes from neighborhoods that are composed largely of people of color?  Ah…no; that violates this concept about as obviously as anything possibly could.
