The 'originalists' will pretzel logic a way to approve this.

Then they will approve ways to make it nearly impossible for women to vote because many of them, including the hand maiden , hate the 19th amendment as well. For example by approving laws that require birth certificate name to match drivers license name. So, if a woman took her husband's name, then her license and birth certificate will not match. Plus forcing people to pay for copies of birth certificate is a good obstacle to keeping poor people from voting as well.

Uppity blacks and women do not deserve to vote according to them.

If you gerrymandered it just right, you could get black votes to equal 3/5 of a white vote.
