Also congress need to pass new national voting rights act that applies to all 50 states and territories, for any federal or congressional office. (Not sure congress could make it apply to state offices, but done right it would be a pain for states to have a separate system).

This would apply to things like voter id laws, removing people from voting rolls, intimidation at the polls, ratio of polls to population, fraudulent calls to say that voting days / places moved (favorite puke trick) and all other tricks to have serious 10 - 20 year sentences.

This needs to apply to all states, not just the south states, because these tricks have spread and unfair not to apply them everywhere.
