Make it a federal crime for states to oppress minority voting. [View all]

What we need is a federal regulatory body that will provide oversight to ALL 50 states that will step in when any state tries to legislate minority votes out of existence.

It should be a civil right violation when a state passes a law aimed at suppressing minority voting. Or really, any voting.

Anyone that champions making voting more difficult needs a long prison sentence or permanent expulsion from this great land.

Support democracy or GTFO.
