They’re talking about not letting the former slaves vote at all. They aren’t talking about limiting the number of early voting days (there were none at all at the time) or drop boxes (ditto) or gerrymandering (which existed well before the amendment. )

What happens when the Republican version of this nonsense pops up again and they interpret the constitution’s requirement that each state have a “republican form of government”?? You’ll just accept that “it’s in the constitution!”?
