As I posted in another thread: once Dems are back in control, that is one thing that needs to be enshrined as a basic right: the right to vote. And it shall not be impeded in any way.

There not being a constitutional right to vote is BS because the 15th Amendment was all about guaranteeing African-Americans the right to vote, and the 19th Amendment guaranteed the right to vote for women. Because it was assumed that there was already a right to vote for white males.
