The Constitution's Lost Clause

"It's time to resurrect these 110 words of the most important amendment to the world's most important constitution. The authors of those words looked to Congress to ensure that the most fundamental aspect of American democracy—the right to vote—would be upheld. Today, with the closure of polling locations, spread of voter identification laws, and purging of voter rolls, the right to vote is, yet again, under siege."

Joshua Geltzer at Politico calls for enforcement of Section 2 of the Fourteenth Amendment.
