Does the DOJ have the power to make all states comply with the VRA?

I believe so. It's a Federal law. States must comply. The states can not restrict it more than it is, and can only make it more stringent, not less. When Federal and State laws conflict, the Feds win out.

In this instance, your little govt leads to constitutional violations. Your little govt also releases illegal invaders with international arrest warrants back out on the street.

It's best not to be an absolutist.

What I love the most about our little government is if you want to see change the states can always call for a Constitutional Convention of the States.

That's probably what the lil' fella means when he says he loves his lil' government.

You don’t strike me as a radical leftist.

Are there any times the FedGov should step in and protect citizens from states?

The Supremacy Clause and the 10th Amendment have both been around for a while. You binary thinkers think you’re edgy. It’s cringy.
