Supreme Court turns away challenge to Wisconsin voter ID law

#11

Quote:Actually, there's no guarantee that the states can't prohibit you from voting on the basis of religion.  All that's stated in the constitution is that the states shall not deny the right to vote on the basis of color, race, or previous servitude.  The 19th amendment expanded this to basis of gender.  26th adds "on account of age' for those over the age of 18.

I mean congress can't establish an official religion, and they can't deny you the right to practice.  But nowhere does it state that you can't deny the right to vote on the basis thereof.
 

meh, anti-discrimination laws make it unimaginable that restriction based on religion could hold up in court. For example if they passed a law saying muslims could not vote in federal elections I'd expect that to be found unconstitutional.
