That’s a plausible argument.

It is not true, however, as some are arguing that they cannot do this because the election for President in a state is a “Federal” election - it is not - it is a local election created by acts of the legislatures of the several states.

Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act is a broad provision that prohibits states from enacting voting processes that prevent minorities from exercising their right to vote.

This means any minority that is prohibited from voting for a constitutionally eligible presidential candidate under one of these stupid laws has all the legal standing he or she needs to have the law overturned.

Heck — the Voting Rights Act gives very broad powers to the DOJ to enforce this.
