The 15th Amendment is very clear, African American Men are not to be discriminated against in any way shape or form. THAT is USA Constitutional law. Simply because White Men in Ohio continue to play with Article One, Section 4 of the USA Constitution it does NOT mean it applies to African American Men. It is amazing to me how 'buffaloed' the Republicans have this nation.
...The most direct attack (click here) on the problem of African American disfranchisement came in 1965. Prompted by reports of continuing discriminatory voting practices in many Southern states, President Lyndon B. Johnson, himself a southerner, urged Congress on March 15, 1965, to pass legislation “which will make it impossible to thwart the 15th amendment.” He reminded Congress that “we cannot have government for all the people until we first make certain it is government of and by all the people.” The Voting Rights Act of 1965, extended in 1970, 1975, and 1982, abolished all remaining deterrents to exercising the franchise and authorized Federal supervision of voter registration where necessary.
Let's look at the way voting rights were set up in the original document of the USA Constitution.
Article One
The Thirteenth Amendment was passed over 100 years later. The wording is straight forward and never did any one passing the 13th amendment believe there would be anything other than freedom of citizenship for Black Men, no different than that of White Men.
Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
The method of carrying out the vote is still relegated to the states. The organizing of the COUNTING of the ballots and reporting of the counting of the ballots are the responsibility of the jurisdiction reporting for the House of Representatives. In all honesty, it really isn't the states responsible for the vote count, so much as each House of Representative seat in Congress.
The way election laws are administered TODAY by each state is a violation of the 13th, 14th and 15th amendment. Now, how many times is the federal legislature going to pass laws and Constitutional Amendments before it is done correctly with a firm set of federal laws defining the LACK OF CONDITIONS necessary to vote in the USA. There is no identity fraud that cannot be detected with a finger print reader or a simple signature, so to allow this mess to continue is outrageous.
Besides the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the NATION'S Constitution there is also the Voting Rights Act. WHY?
The White Men at the state level continue to game the system because it is allowed, not because it was ever suppose to continue. Why was the 13th amendment every necessary? Aren't black skinned men as human as white skinned men? Why was the 14th Amendment ever necessary? Were women as human as men? Why was the 15th Amendment ever necessary? We are back to the issue of the civil rights of black men born in the USA (I suppose in the mid 1800s they were the Dreamers of the day.).
The states lost their credibility a long time ago to carry out nothing more than the TASK of counting the vote and reporting to the US Congress in the House of Representatives. The states rights to continue to harass minorities ended, in my opinion, with the 14th Amendment. I sincerely believe the 14th Amendment clearly hands accountability of laws to the federal government and the jurisdictional reporting ONLY to the individual federal House seats.
Article One, Section 4 of the USA Constitution was written for 13 states. There was slavery then. It took 100 years and a civil war to stop slavery. It was a moral social issue. Somehow slavery continued due to the clout of the whip and gun and not because the USA Constitution every allowed it in the first place.
The problem today, no different than from the beginnings of this country is bigotry. Today, bigotry seeks control of the outcome of elections. It is a return to the Civil War by allowing the states control over election laws in the year 2012. The states were dissolved of their jurisdiction for setting voting laws a long time ago.
In the 15th Amendment it clearly states Black Men are not to be impeded in any way. There is no state that is to violate that and currently Husted is in violation of that Constitutional Amendment by targeting a minority demographic, Black Men, to prevent them from casting their vote on an extended timeline. Husted is in violation of the USA Constitution in his very thought of committing the crime of OBSTRUCTING the 15th Amendment.
When the states finally come to terms with the FACT they do not have authority over setting laws regarding voting this circus will stop, but, not before. The vote is a toy for politicians and until the protections of all Americans are standardized at the federal level this monkey business of the White Men will continue.
If Husted files an appeal to a court to SUBVERT the USA Constitution he is in treason of its laws and needs to be arrested immediately.
If our federal government doesn't stand strong for every Section of the USA Constitution and every Amendment we will be in danger of having the entire Constitution dissolved before our eyes by ? states rights ? Someone needs to get this straight. Husted is engaged in unconstitutional activity to subvert the vote with intent to over throw the USA federal government. What of that doesn't anyone understand?

Let's look at the way voting rights were set up in the original document of the USA Constitution.
Article One
SECTION 4.
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 choosing Senators.
The second paragraph really isn't my concern.
The Congress shall assemble at least once in every year, and such meeting shall be on the first Monday in December, unless they shall by law appoint a different day.
These are the original words written when the US Constitution was signed. A lot has happened since then.The second paragraph really isn't my concern.
The Congress shall assemble at least once in every year, and such meeting shall be on the first Monday in December, unless they shall by law appoint a different day.
The Thirteenth Amendment was passed over 100 years later. The wording is straight forward and never did any one passing the 13th amendment believe there would be anything other than freedom of citizenship for Black Men, no different than that of White Men.
Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation
The reason things went so badly after the 13th Amendment was passed is because of the USA Constitution's Article 1, Section 4. I have placed the text above. Every time there are laws passed to dissolve bigotry and provide equality it is removed as soon as White Men at the state level get their hands on it.
As the states tinkered and tinkered and tinkered the Fourteenth Amendment came into being. You think the nation would learn that after two Constitutional Amendments were passed to SECURE the rights of Black Men that would be enough, but, it never is.
The really interesting thing about the 14th Amendment, other than the right of women of any ethnicity to vote, is the fact Section 1 assigns jurisdiction to the United States, not individual states.
Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Even though the 14th Amendment clearly places jurisdiction of all persons to the federal authority while recognizing the states as entities of those federal borders, there is NOTHING here assigning voting rights laws to the states.As the states tinkered and tinkered and tinkered the Fourteenth Amendment came into being.

Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.
Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
Section 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.
Section 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.The method of carrying out the vote is still relegated to the states.
