WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Congress must act to restore fundamental voting rights after the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday backed voting restrictions in Arizona, U.S. President Joe Biden said, adding that legislative safeguards were needed to repair the damage and safeguard democracy.

"The attack we are seeing today makes clearer than ever that additional laws are needed to safeguard that beating heart of our democracy," Biden said in a statement. "Democracy is on the line."

mr biden, congress is not a weapon to use against Supreme Court rulings you don't like.
Federal elections should be overseen by the federal government NOT the states. States famous for Jim Crow lawlessness and voter tampering should never be allowed overbite on the election of FEDERAL congressman and senators who's actions effect the country as a WHOLE not a few racists in small, poor uneducated states that don't even BELIEVE in the constitution or its guarantee of freedoms and rights for all. The only rights they care about is their rights to use violence andi intimidation to get what they want at any cost. Their attack on the very heart of this democracy should be all the proof anyone needs that its NOT just blacks and Jews who's votes they want to squash, they want to nullify ALL votes that don't fit into their fascist, one party, one supreme leader agenda. Biden needs to declare a state of emergency based on the infiltration of these fascists into the deepest parts of our government and pass laws GUARANTEEING federal oversight of the voting for Federal offices,
LOL, silly comment.
Voter ID is exactly the protection we need. Biden and the bolsheviks are trying to federalize state and local elections so they can ensure single party rule in perpetuity. USSA solidified if they succeed.
