When is voting going to be federally codified and protected?

[live love laugh]

How can it only be half heartedly covered in the amendments when our entire democracy is based on it?

Where’s the legislation for spelling out voting rights and addressing violations like gerrymandering; intimidation; false or misleading information about voting; delay tactics—from inadequate voting locations to shoddy equipment to slowing the mail down and even destroying mail ballots as was done recently; tampering, electronic interference, transparency and accountability/validation measures?

We should not have to worry every election whether the dirty tricksters will brazenly steal because there’s no reprisal if they do.

“We The People” is just a trite phrase without the ability to ensure every vote is securely submitted.

1. When we have a solid majority of reliable votes in Senate.

Or when Senate does away with filibuster.

Likely the only thing tfg ever told truth about was that "If people are allowed to vote, [qpukes] would never win."

[qazplm135]

2. When Democrats have 60 Senate seats

and a majority in the House and the White House AND have a 5-4 or better on the Supreme Court majority.

Until then, it ain't happening.

7. I think if we hold the House and gain 2-3 Senate seats (within the possibilities of outcomes), we

can make it happen. The only two Democratic holdouts for ending the filibuster (or at least making "carve-outs" for it) would be neutralized if we can get to 52 or 53 seats. Good point about the Supreme Court, but we could at LEAST get it going (and hold the threat to increase the size of the Supreme Court at that point regardless).

3. When the constitution is changed

The constitution says elections are run by the state. A constitutional amendment could change that.

12. What needs to be changed?

The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.

On edit:
Or were you thinking of the electoral college/Presdential election?

4. Election reform: ga

Gerrymandering, outside dark money donors, unlimited campaign months, lack of job requirements. Change it all.

[budkin]

5. Unless we keep the House and Senate not for years

It could be a LONG time, if ever.

[ForgedCrank]

6. Not going

to happen unless we can change The Constitution.

[sl8]

10. Article 1, Section 4 says that Congress has that authority:

The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.

[ForgedCrank]

13. Ok, but

14. I'm not following.

Do you see something at that link that contradicts what I posted?

The links below explore the clauses a little more thoroughly:

8. Always felt, Voting should be Mandatory!

[BlueIdaho]

11. Oh dear god no.

You’d agree if you knew my neighbors.

9. When the John Lewis Voting Rights Act is passed.

We can help by electing Dems.
