Poll taxes were eliminated by the 24th amendment.
Can it not be argued that 10th amendment basically amended that section and it no longer applies?
States can run their elections but Congress can override. It's in the Constitution. That's why we no longer have poll taxes. Feds are there to prevent states from violating people's rights.
Can it not be argued that 10th amendment basically amended that section and it no longer applies?Article I, Section 4, Clause 1: 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.
How so? The 10th amendment says the federal government has only the powers delegated to it by the Constitution, and control over elections is explicitly delegated to it by the Constitution. Congress has the last word in how elections are run, period.Poll taxes were eliminated by the 24th amendment.

If I'm not mistaken the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT enacted the 24th. Virginia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Texas still had the poll tax so the federal government told those states to stop and prohibited others from re-establishing.Poll taxes were eliminated by the 24th amendment.

These people need to be skewered and flayed.Want to see what a hypocrite look like?
Just cause I voted no to the bill, I can still shine some of the PR light on myself ... right?

Could you imagine if Republicans treated guns the same as voting. If a small handful of fruad cases justify 250 bills limiting voting, how many bills should come out after a high school is shot up?It's weird how the party of small government decides it desperately needs tons of new federal legislation in very specific areas where there is no significant evidence of a problem. Huh. Wonder why.
"Because it COULD happen!"... lol, funny come from the "anti nanny state" crowd.

He might be willing to change how it's structure but i do not believe he will actually end it. He barely agreed to pass another Covid relief bill, he is more like Republican compare to Democrat. I do not believe much if anything will be passed else by Congress/Senate in the next 2 years. 2022 election for sure will be interesting.Manchin appears to be willing to nuke the filibuster in all but name, which would be how.
If he changes the structure to requiring people to actually stand up there and talk that ends the filibuster for all intents and purposes.He might be willing to change how it's structure but i do not believe he will actually end it.

There is also a question about Kyrsten Sinema , i am not seeing her supporting any changes to reduce filibusterIf he changes the structure to requiring people to actually stand up there and talk that ends the filibuster for all intents and purposes.
Each state makes their own rules/law on how their citizens vote. Each state picks the president, so i am asking if federal government can actually set rules on how each state makes up their own voting law?
At one point either during the debate or an interview, Nancy Pelosi says the Republicans will vote no, but take the dough.It's a part of the ginned up, conflated, conspired and connived conservative mindset where it's OK to like the ACA but Obamacare must be reviled and spat on.
