[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

It seems to me the US Constitution is pretty clear about leaving the electoral process up to the states.

I do hope the states that want to implement voter-ID laws fight this until the “Justice Department” looks like the proverbial hamburger.

Article I Section 4 of the current Constitution of the United States continues to contain the following language:

"Section 4 - Elections, Meetings The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Place of Chusing Senators.

Did you catch that second part? That says Congress can change the rules!!!! That's for Senators and Representatives.

The Founders left all of it up to the states EXCEPT for the election of Senators and Representatives. Congress has the explicit authority to change the rules.

As you recall from Gore v. PEOPLE OF FLORIDA, the Supreme Court had jurisdiction. Apparently the Democrats hadn't checked on that part ~ but Congress had acted several times regarding election laws involving Presidents so there you have it (there's a similar clause for Presidential elections).

What Leander Perez racist cousin is doing here is, of course, mindless, but so is he. The Supreme Court said it was constitutional to require a photo ID. BTW, you show up in their court you'd better have one on you too. Same for getting on an airplane.
