Keep states’ hands off your right to vote

In the list of things-that-ain’t-gonna-happen this has to rank near the top. Our government only agrees on two things: reducing privacy and giving massive taxpayer handouts to millionaires and billionaires. Other than that, our government can’t even agree on the weather, day of week, if it is sunny or dark, etc. So what is the chance that an amendment to our (shredded) Constitution is going to get any forward progress? Never mind that the states that are so intent on taking away the rights of them poor stupid people to vote would block this amendment every single step of the way.
Personally I think fewer engaged voters are better than more idiot voters (see here and here), but what we have now is the worst of all worlds (funny how Americans are so damn good at achieving that exalted state).
