Comprehensive Constitutional Amendment for Voting Rights
The proposed constitutional amendment includes components such as positive right to vote, equal weight of votes, automatic registration, individual voter identification, constitutionalizing section two's protections of minority voting, equal voting opportunities, limiting burdens, and empowering Congress to enforce the amendment. The justification for the amendment is to reduce litigation and polarization over voting. It is suggested that the North Dakota voter identification law litigation and the Bernovich vs DNC case might have been different with a constitutional right to vote. However, there is skepticism about whether the amendment would be sufficient to prevent the court from undermining the proposal, especially considering the court's previous actions regarding section two's protections for minority voting.
