  1. Who can read the 15th Amdt, Sec. 1 in connection with 14th Amdt, Sec. 2 ???

    15th Amdt, Sec. 1 is ONLY about the definition of Elector-Voter in NEGATIVE language.

    — has ZERO to do with ANY stuff on ANY ballots — candidates or issues.

    The 1965 VRA is more of the INSANE *politically correct* stuff from the 1960s — rotting the U.S.A. to death since then — the UN-declared Vietnam WAR, the nonstop inflation in 1965-1982, etc. etc.

    P.R. and nonpartisan App.V.
