blue bits. red rocks.

Instead of leaving it to the officials of two thousand independent counties and cities, a constitutional right to vote amendment would require the same federal standards applied across the country for how voting machines are tested, purchased and operated, and a uniform standard for how votes cast are counted. It would establish the legal grounds for lawsuits against electronic voting regimes that don’t contain paper trails and cannot be audited. A constitutional right to vote would establish the same standards across the country for who can vote, and require that whatever measures officials undertake to positively identify voters do not measurably infringe on the rights of legitimate voters who might lack photo ID, and make almost inevitable the end of felony disenfranchisement as well as opening the way to federal interference in the currently widespread practice of legislative gerrymandering.
