With fits and starts, the post-Warren Burger SCOTUS has been much friendlier to states...the death panel law notwithstanding.

Here there is a chance to move away from the federal government dictating election law for states.

You are forgetting the ROBERTS court has been hijacked by the Dhimmicrats. IE: Zer0bamacare is now just a tax. And John Roberts has been blackmailed either via his kids adoption or his possible gay college days.

RE :”The issue is Section 5 of the law, which requires all or part of 16 states to get any changes to election law pre-approved by either the Justice Department or a federal court. That requirement, based on findings of discrimination and racism years ago, applies to most every aspect of elections, from technical changes to the high-profile issue of photo ID requirements that recently spawned court battles for states such as Texas and South Carolina. The challenge was brought by Shelby County, Ala., and argues that the act's preclearance requirement is unconstitutional on its face, no matter how it's employed. “

And only certain states must get the justice departments permission.

One thing I wont forget that most Republicans seem to is that it was the GOP congress under GWB 2006 that re-authorized this expired Voting Rights Act 2006, as is, with no changes, including that requirement for certain selected states to get permission from justice to make any change in rules, even impose voter ID.

Yes, the GOP congress under GWB did this in 2006, to get minority votes we can only assume. Well it didnt work. They they screwed themselves for the future, and screwed GOP states (and GOP in swing states).

This is like the GOP making illegals from third world nations voters under the mission to get minority votes.

Bills of Attainder should not stand.

Courts should punish malefactors based on evidence and trial.
Not legislatures based on their emotions and greed.

They scream “motor-voter-access”...we scream back “purge the voter roles of the dead, moved, and fraudulent”.
