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?

Both sides play this game.
Same anytime ‘boundary changes’ are deemed ‘necessary’.

A major flaw in having just a two party system

@Picklebobble2 The two-party system is deeply flawed, but the US Constitution has always been inclusionary, protective of rights and expansive in its capacity.

The GOP seeks to exclude, restrict and limit freedoms. That's the difference between the two.

@Graylight But the fact the Republicans so often propose this kind of thing is evidence that on occasion sheer weight of numbers in Congress or the Senate might actually see this kind of thing become law
@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.
