"If they were for a U.S. office yes. If for a state office no because the U.S. constitution would not come into play IMO."

Why would the 14th amendment apply differently to a federal election than to a state election?

Let's say that Alabama passed the following two laws:

(1) No black persons may vote in federal elections

(2) No black persons may vote in local elections

Are you saying that (1) violates the 14th amendment, but (2) doesn't?
