Isn’t voting in federal elections a federal issue?

You’d like to think so, but no it doesn’t. I write as someone who taught Constitution word-by-word to 7th graders for more than 25 years. Through amendments the Constitution says that states cannot deny the vote on account of race, sex, lack of payment of poll tax and to people over 18 years of age.

Congress and state legislatures have passed additional laws regarding the restrictions on the right to vote.
