There is a NEED to protect voting rights. Some states are passing laws to restrict people from voting and making sure there are not voting precincts in the poorest areas of cities. Some of the laws reflect the old Jim Crow laws and going back over 60 years in voting rights. Since this is the case and by court rulings under the civil rights voting act the federal government is designated to protect voting rights.

I am not sure what you are asking. Voting rights are given in the constitution and the states have made laws to restrict some voting rights, but the federal government is suppose to protect voting rights.
President Nixon supported the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which aimed to eliminate barriers to voting for African Americans and protect their voting rights. Although he had reservations about certain aspects of the legislation, such as federal oversight of elections, he recognized the importance of the act in addressing racial discrimination. Nixon's administration ultimately helped to enforce the act and ensure its implementation at the state level.
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed to protect African American voters from discriminatory practices and groups like the Ku Klux Klan. This landmark legislation aimed to eliminate barriers to voting, such as literacy tests and poll taxes, which were often used to disenfranchise Black voters. It also provided for federal oversight and monitoring of voter registration and election processes in areas with a history of racial discrimination. The Act significantly strengthened the legal framework for protecting the voting rights of African Americans.
An example of respecting minority rights in the U.S. is the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which aimed to overcome legal barriers that prevented African Americans from voting. This legislation outlawed discriminatory voting practices and has continued to protect the voting rights of minority groups.
