How can you consider the act of restricting voters from voting to be constitutional?
In a Democratic society, how is it constitutional to limit the people’s right to vote?

Unfortunately it's not a true democracy. It's a democratic republic.
Where "democratic" modifies republic.
To the deniers. Look at the US Constitution before you argue!
Just stating a well known fact!

@helenS convenient maybe but very unconstitutional.

@justanothername To a certain degree, those in power decide what is and isn't constitutional. 😐

Both sides play this game.
Same anytime ‘boundary changes’ are deemed ‘necessary’.
A major flaw in having just a two party system

@Picklebobble2 except election rules are decided at the state level, aside from electors there's no federal election law in the US. Each state has their own laws governing that.
The number of either party in the Senate or congress doesn't matter.

@helenS Well that’s a bit tricky then isn’t it because it s the Republicans who are trying to push the vote through but it’s the Biden and the Democrats who are in power.
