4. We need my dream Amendment XXVIII

It would look something like this.

Amendment XXVIII

Section 1
The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State for any reason whatsoever.

Section 2
Every official of the United States has an affirmative duty to ensure that all United States citizens has every opportunity to vote. Suppression of votes, preventing United States citizens from casting their votes, or electoral fraud shall be punishable by life imprisonment without parole.

Section 3
Any interference with an election of the United States by a foreign power shall be considered an act of war against the United States, and the United States shall respond accordingly. Failure to respond appropriately shall be considered grounds for impeachment of the President or members of Congress.

Section 4
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction, for any reason whatsoever. Violation of this section shall be punishable by life imprisonment without parole.

Section 5
The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. There shall be no time limit on ratification of this amendment by the states.

Sounds harsh, but I think harsh is what we need at this point.
