A good win but a major loss over the last two days.
The 15 amendment give people the right to vote. Section 4 allowed the federal goverment to pick and choose which state, counties, cities, etc... that had to submit voting procedures to the feds. Not sure if its needed anymore and not evn sure how its even used today.
