Election officials can't change voting laws and the DoJ has nothing to do with it either. State Legislatures are the only ones, who can legally change any state voting laws, although a lot of tinkering occurred in the 2020 election.The bill does not remove voter ID requirements. Part of the bill puts back pre-clearance which is what the Supreme Court took out of the 1965 Voting Rights Act several years ago. This is where election officials would need permission from the DOJ to change any voting laws.
As far as blacks and voter ID, first of all this is kind of old news. After Obama won in 2008, voter suppression started out initially to disenfranchise black voters. Repub strategist found out that a lot of blacks in the major cities did not have a picture ID for one reason or another. So repubs made voter ID as a requirement even thought prior to the 2008 election having an ID was never an issue. Then they tried to remove Sunday voting that blacks enjoyed and called it "Souls to the Polls". Now move forward to the past few years and months. These voter suppression laws that over 40 states have already or on the books, the current voter suppression laws have expanded from blacks to disenfranchised basically everyone that wants to vote, mainly many folks that vote democrat. Removing drop boxes in major cities, Adding drop boxes to rural areas, eliminating drop boxes, reducing early voting, no food or water given to people standing in long lines to vote on and on. Now under the lie that the 2020 election was stolen these voter suppression laws have been put into high gear. The John Lewis Bill fixes all that crap.
You guys are fixated on voter ID's. There are more to the voter suppression laws than voter ID's.
When I see a law that specifically puts a requirement on a Black voter that's not already on a White voter, I will believe in disenfranchisement. Show me any laws that single out Black voters?
This whole thing about extending the voting period from ONE day to over a month in some states serves only one purpose and that is to cheat in elections. The longer the time, the more places people can vote illegally. Not having to show a picture ID makes it very easy.
I have been voting since 1966 and I have always been required to show an ID, so this is NOT something that the evil Republicans just came up with to disenfranchise Blacks.
Once again, the Dems are using Blacks as an excuse to weaken the integrity of the voting process and if you object, they call you a Racist. Rinse, Repeat...
